Retirement

[ld-archer]

Currently estimating transition model both for whether retired (binary) and retirement age (continuous). This isn't the best way to do this, instead we should remove the retirement age model and focus only on the binary. We can then do the logical accounting in maybe HealthModule.cpp?

• [ ] Stop estimating model for retage
• [ ] Do logical accounting in HealthModule for retirement age
  • if retemp == 1 & l2retemp == 0 { retage == age; }

[ld-archer]

When done, add retage as predictor for public pension and other economic variables.

Think the best solution to all this would be to tie all the work and unemployment information together into a workstat variable. The labour force status variable r*lbrf_e seems a good place to start, here are the categories to that var:

Value----------------------|
.d:DK
.o:Other
.r:Refuse
1.employed
2.self-employed
3.unemployed
4.partly ret
5.retired
6.disabled
7.looking after home or fam

• Employed
  • 1 Employed
  • 2 Self-employed
  • 4 Partly retired
• Unemployed (but still in labour force)
  • 3 Unemployed
• Not working (retired, disabled, looking after home...) Will probably label this as retired.
  • 5 Retired
  • 6 Disabled
  • 7 Looking after home or family

Going to open this as another issue, then link both of these issues into a pull request for the work and retirement status variables.
