In this study, institutional incentives for the elderly to work are quantified by\nparticipation tax rate. All specifications of participation tax rate, which do not take\ninto account unemployment benefits, show, that institutional incentives for the\nelderly to work are not higher compared to incentives for prime age individuals to\nwork. Moreover, participation tax rates of pensioners used to be even higher\ncompared to prime age individuals. This was the case in 2013 when working\npensioners, who were receiving an old age pension, could not claim taxpayer tax\ncredit. Therefore, pensioners' institutional incentives to work cannot offset their\nincreased temptation to leave labour market.
