Inflation and Early Retirement: Recent Longitudinal Findings Monthly Labor Review 104,7 (July 1981): 27-30. Also: http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/1981/07/rpt1full.pdf Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Harris Poll; Inflation; Retirees; Retirement/Retirement Planning The potential effects of continuing high rates of inflation on retirement decisions are unclear, despite a 1978 poll by Louis Harris which has been taken as an indication that high inflation is causing many men to postpone retirement. The trend toward earlier retirement discernible in the longitudinal data between 1966 and 1976 continued without interruption between 1976 and 1978. Moreover, men who had been retired in 1976 showed only slightly more interest in postretirement jobs in 1978 than they had in l976. The more recent retirees, who had retired between 1976 and 1978, were only slightly more likely to be working, 13 percent versus 10 percent. Retirees were not unmindful of the impact of rising prices, but the chief manifestation of their concern was in the expression of less satisfaction with their economic circumstances. |
