Predicting Participation in Retirement Preparation Programs Journal of Gerontology 43,3 (May 1988): S91-S95. Also: http://geronj.oxfordjournals.org/content/43/3/S91.abstract Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Gerontological Society of America Keyword(s): Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Income; Retirement/Retirement Planning The probability of participation in a retirement preparation program was estimated by applying a logit regression model to data from the 1981 NLS of Older Men. The final sample consisted of 294 retired men who were aged 45 to 59 in the initial survey year (1966) and who had had the opportunity to participate in a retirement planning program. Variables postulated to influence participation were occupational status, preretirement income, job satisfaction, health status, change in health, marital status, pension eligibility, prior unemployment, constraint by mandatory retirement rules, and expected retirement experience (i.e. plans for retirement). Occupational status, marital status, health status, preretirement income, and constraint by mandatory retirement rules were significant predictors of participation. Moreover, a positive selectivity bias existed in that those individuals most likely to succeed in retirement were those who were volunteering for and participating in retirement preparation programs.
