- Abstract
The determinants of the labour force status of the aged are investigated using surveys of individuals undertaken in Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne during 1981. The explanatory variables used in the probability models of the labour force status comprise both socio-demographic and economic variables. The economic variables include wealth proxies, pension eligibility, and the wage rate. The economic variables were shown to be very important determinants of the labour force status of the aged. This is particularly true of the variables relating to eligibility for the age pension.
