healthy worker effect

This effect suggests that individuals who remain employed tend to be healthier than those who retire or leave the workforce due to health reasons. Essentially, individuals who are healthier and have fewer health issues are more likely to be able to continue working past the retirement age, while those with poorer health or underlying conditions may be more inclined or forced to retire at the statutory age.

Studies show the healthy worker effect is real; people who stay employed often stay healthier, while those who retire early due to health issues tend to be in worse shape.
