Abstract
The growing concern about the increasing age wave caused the Norwegian

government to change their pension system in 2011, into a more flexible pension

system. One of the reasons for this is the increase in expected longevity for every

birth cohort. This paper examines how the claiming behaviour is affected by

individuals’ expected longevity after the implementation of the new pension system

in Norway. The results reveal that having a higher expected longevity causes

individuals to delay their pension claiming. However, we find no evidence that

individuals will act on the knowledge about their own expected longevity in

choosing when to claim pensions. Moreover, we find evidence that different

socioeconomic and demographic variables cause individuals to act differently in

choosing when to claim pensions. Lastly, we find that labour market participation,

among those aged 62, has improved after the new pension system was introduced,

creating a more mature labour force.
