Self-Reported Health and Professional Activity's Cessation. This article examines the main determinants of the decision to retire in France from the complementary survey to the 1996 INSEE labor survey. It particularly focuses on the effect of health status on professional activity's cessation taking account of different constraints of labor market (pre-retire- ment system, unemployment) and in the private sphere (behavior of couple, familial responsabilities...). Although retirement models differ according to gender, i.e. family model for women and professional model for men, health status is also a relevant factor of anticipated retirement despite financial or institutionnal constraints.

Pensions and Differential Mortality.We estimate, using French administrative data from the "Échantillon Interrégimes des Retraités" (all-regime pensioner sample), the differential mortality between 1997 and 2001 of the generations born between 1906 and 1930 according to the size of retirement pension. Differential mortality is significant for men but not for women. In the sample, a doubling of income leads to a decrease in the instantaneous mortality rate of around 10 % for men. An illustrative calculation shows that while differential mortality does not call into question from an income standpoint the redistributive character of the French pension system, it nevertheless seems to have a significant impact on its amplitude.
