The aim of this chapter is to explore and try to explain the increases in older Italian men and women’s labor force participation (LFP) and employment over the past 20 years. This is a general pattern, common to most developed countries around the world, and many factors may have contributed to the recent increases in LFP and employment. These include changes in social security and disability insurance (DI) incentives, improving health and longevity, increasing education, a shift toward less physically demanding jobs, and rising female LFP (combined with the desire for joint retirement among couples).

Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to explore and try to explain the increases in older Italian men and women’s labor force participation (LFP) and employment over the past 20 years. This is a general pattern, common to most developed countries around the world, and many factors may have contributed to the recent increases in LFP and employment. These include changes in social security and disability insurance (DI) incentives, improving health and longevity, increasing education, a shift toward less physically demanding jobs, and rising female LFP (combined with the desire for joint retirement among couples).
