Abstract

In this article, we analyze the compatibility between contributory incapacity pensions and employment. Using the Spanish Working Lives Longitudinal Database, we show that 9.9% of workers are in this situation, reaching 15.6% for total permanent incapacity. The main determinant of this simultaneity is the severity of the disability (using the type of pension as a proxy). Once we consider the type of pensions, we do not find a relevant effect of the amount of the pension on such compatibility.
