Résumé
This contribution analyses early retirement in Germany and Switzerland with a focus on financial resources. Using data from CH-SILC linked to administrative records and the German SOEP, we distinguish three different financial resources, namely pre-retirement labour income, net worth and pension entitlements. A high labour income reduces the probability for early retirement. In contrast, high pension entitlements are associated with early retirement. Private wealth does also play an important role for early retirement, but differs with regard to the relevance of the asset components between the two countries. Although the pension system moderates the influence of financial resources on retirement behaviour, the direction of the effects is consistent across countries once pension entitlements are accounted for.
