Topic: Life Expectancy, Education and Entrepreneurship in urban China
Abstract:The Mandatory Retirement Policy has been in effect since 1950 in urban China. When expected longevity increases, individual’s human capital investment and occupational choices may change too. The macro economic models link mortality rate (or life expectancy) to education and economic growth, arguing that saving for the old age consumption motives individuals to invest more in human capital. Cross-country evidence confirms that countries with higher longevity have more educated people. However, micro economic evidence is rather limited. Increased life expectancy also motives people to be self-employed such that timing of retirement is not affected by the policy. This paper aims to learn individual’s behaviors in education investment and entrepreneurship in the institutional context of the mandatory retirement. Using CFPS dataset, we apply a survival model to school drop out choice. Provincial level mortality rate upon school drop out decision is positively associated with school drop out, indicating that life expectancy incentivizes human capital investment.
