摘要：
This study examines the impacts of employment at older ages on individuals' health using data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA). In assessing the health consequences of employment, a distinction is made between self-employment, which is predominant among the elderly working population, and wage employment. The results demonstrate that the effects on health differ by employment type: self-employment has a negative impact on general health and mental health, whereas wage work has a positive impact. In contrast to wage work, self-employment improves cognitive functioning.
