摘要：This paper investigates bridge employment beyond retirement, as nowadays it is one of solutionsoften mentioned to stabilize pension systems in the context of an aging population. The aim of this paper is toidentify individual, financial, and other factors that influence retirees to work beyond retirement in Lithuania.This research was done using unique administrative Lithuanian data, allowing to analyze post-retirement employmentin Lithuania for the first time. The sample consists of 26,000 new old-age pension recipients from2015 to 2017. By applying binary models of the probability of being employed beyond retirement, it is foundout that a greater acquired retirement record, a higher average wage before retirement, and living in a biggercity with a higher employment rate were positively associated with accepting bridge employment, while ahigher sickness rate, higher old-age pension, and earlier receipt of an unemployment benefit were inverselyrelated to accepting such employment. Moreover, being a professional or manager increases the likelihoodof bridge employment in comparison to unskilled workers. This probability increases even more if a personworks in the public sector. Finally, some social groups were excluded, finding that widows with disabilitiesor widowed women with worse health are not likely to work beyond retirement and are consequently undera bigger risk of poverty. To sum up, retirees who should stay in the labor market in their old age because oftheir bad financial situation are less likely to do it. This suggests that persons with bigger needs, lower-skilledworkers, and women deserve particular attention in labor market reforms.
