Un trabajo recién publicado por @LaiaBosque, @conderuiz, @sergijm64 y @juditvall.bsky.social, en @socialfedea.bsky.social, disponible aquí: fedea.net/evolucion-de...

La salud de las personas entre 55 y 69 años ha mejorado notablemente desde el inicio de la democracia en España, pero su tasa de empleo se ha reducido a la mitad. Estimaciones muestran que los hombres podrían trabajar 8 años más y las mujeres 6 años más, sin deterioro de salud.
