As a consequence, for a delay in the legal retirement age to have the desired effect on the labor supply of the elderly, an affordable system of preventive health is required, especially among those workers with low socio-economic status. In this context, the labor supply of the elderly would expand at a faster rate than would life expectancy, thus allowing for a reduction in the dependency rate. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 1.374 2015 ECONOMICS 95 / 341 = 0.279 2015 Q2 T1 1.558 2015 Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management 2015 Q1 Economics and Econometrics 2015 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Larramona, Gemma Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5858-4975 Pueyo, Fernando Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9410-3531 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
