Age Discrimination in Employment: The Scope of Statutory Exceptions to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA)I was enacted to protect older workers from arbitrary employment prac- tices, such as the establishment of age requirements unrelated to the ability needed for a job, and to meet the problem of increasing numbers of older workers who are unable to retain employment after job displacement.2 The ADEA, in language similar to the employ- ment practices sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,1 prohibits an employer from discriminating against any employee or applicant for employment who is between forty and sixty-five years of age because of such person's age.

  • Do Mandatory Retirement Contributions Crowd out Voluntary Contributions?
    Research Dialogue | Issue no. 161 May 2020 Do mandatory retirement contributions crowd out voluntary contributions? Abstract Leora Friedberg, A high contribution rate to employer-provided defined contribution (DC) pension plans Department of Economics, is important for employees to maintain their standard of living during retirement. Yet, University of Virginia TIAA Institute Fellow plans differ in whether employee or employer contributions are mandated, leaving a critical role for voluntary contributions. We study how employees respond to a shift in Adam Leive, required contribution rates at a large public university. Starting in 2010, new employees Batten School of Leadership experienced two changes relative to employees hired earlier: (1) the employer and Public Policy, contribution rate fell by 1.5 percentage points (pp); and (2) a new mandatory employee University of Virginia contribution of 5% was established. Wenqiang Cai, PWC Economic theory predicts that required contributions will crowd out voluntary contributions by up to 5 pp. These predictions, however, may depend on whether required contributions are salient. Salience may take on particular importance in a complicated choice environment – as is the case for many pension plans. We find evidence of incomplete crowd-out. We estimate a small and often statistically insignificant reduction of 3-6 pp in the share who make any voluntary contributions to the DC plan. Among those who continue to make voluntary contributions, we estimate a reduction in voluntary contributions of about 2.25 pp. The resulting crowd-out is only about 45%, falling well short of predicted crowd-out of 5 pp. These responses suggest a lack of salience of required contributions and reinforce evidence in other settings of passive saving behavior in response to required contributions.

  • Nber Working Paper Series Why Was There Mandatory
    NBER WORKING PAPER SERIES WHY WAS THERE MANDATORY RETIREMENT? OR THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF EFFICIENT BONDING CONTRACTS Kevin Lang Working Paper No. 2199 NATIONAL BUREAU OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH 1050 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02138 March 1987 This research was supported by an Olin Fellowship at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Many of the ideas in this paper were generated in the èourse of conversations with Shulamit Kahn concerning a related paper (Kahn and Lang, 1986). I am grateful fo Larry Katz for pointing out a significant oversight in the previous draft and to Bob Gibbons, Alan Krueger, Edward Lazear, and Larry Summers for helpful discussions. The research reported here is part of the NBER's research program in Labor Studies. Any opinions expressed are those of the author and not those of the National Bureau of Economic Research. NBER Working Paper #2199 March 1987 Why Was There Mandatory Retirement? or the Impossiblity of Efficient Bonding Contracts ABSTRACT Lazear has argued that hours constraints, in general, and mandatory retirement, in particular, form part of an efficient labor market contract designed to increase output by inhibiting worker shirking. Since the contract is efficient, legislative interference is welfare reducing. However, in any case where bonding is costly, the hours constraints will not be chosen optimally. Although it is theoretically possible that bonding is costless, in this case the earnings profile is indeterminate and we should never observe monitoring aimed at reducing shirking. It therefore appears that bonding should be modelled as costly. If so, the role of policy depends on the source of bonding costs, the set of feasible contracts and the policy options which are available to government.

Policy Summary The Texas A&M University System (system) abides by the applicable laws in providing for voluntary and mandatory retirement under several situations. This policy addresses the situations under which retirement may or must be offered and taken through the system; specifically including mandatory retirement, disability retirement or retirement under the Teacher Retirement System (TRS) or the Optional Retirement Program (ORP), through a combination of age and years of service. Policy 1. Employment with any member is predicated at all times upon each individual's mental and physical abilities to perform satisfactory service in normal and expected assignments. Retirement from employment with the system will occur when an employee: (a) elects retirement under the provisions of the TRS or ORP; (b) reaches the mandatory retirement age as described below; or (c) meets the conditions for disability retirement.

Mandatory Retirement Age System employees may not be forced to retire except under the following conditions: 2.1 An employee who is in a bona fide executive or high policymaking position for the two-year period immediately before retirement and who is entitled to an immediate nonforfeitable annual retirement benefit which equals at least $44,000 may be retired at the end of the fiscal year in which that employee’s 65th birthday occurs or anytime thereafter at the option of the system Board of Regents (board).
