Racial Differences in Retirement Presented: San Antonio, TX, American Sociological Association Annual Meetings, 1984 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Duncan Index; Pensions; Racial Differences; Retirement/Retirement Planning; Social Security; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Determinants of retirement for older black wage-and-salary workers are examined to assess the extent of racial differences in retirement patterns and status. Using 1976 and 1978 data from the NLS of Older Men, retirement models for blacks and whites are compared. The major differences involve job tenure, joint policies of compulsory retirement and second pension coverage, and Duncan's index of SES-factors that influence the amount of retirement income. In general, private pension coverage is more important to whites; blacks appear to be more heavily influenced by factors that determine Social Security benefits. |
