People who retire early due to back problems face long-term financial disadvantage
(Elsevier Health Sciences) Back problems are a highly prevalent health issue, and people with the condition have a significantly greater chance of retiring early from the workforce, much more so than for any other health condition. A group of Australian researchers reports that not only does early retirement limit the immediate income available to these individuals, but it also reduces their long-term financial capacity, by reducing their ability to accumulate wealth to a significant degree. Their study is published in the January issue of Pain. (Source: EurekAlert! – Social and Behavioral Science)
