Predictors of Retirement Journal of Gerontology 37,6 (November 1982): 733-742. Also: http://geronj.oxfordjournals.org/content/37/6/733.abstract Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Gerontological Society of America Keyword(s): Duke Retirement Study; Family Income; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Michigan Study-Auto Worker; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID); Pensions; Retirement/Retirement Planning; Self-Reporting; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Predictors of retirement among men were analyzed using data from seven longitudinal studies, multiple definitions of retirement, multivariate analyses, and unbiased statistical techniques. Results show that the predictors of retirement vary depending on how retirement is defined. The strongest predictors of objective retirement among men over age 65 (i.e., employed less than full-time and receiving a pension) are structural factors such as socioeconomic status and job characteristics. The strongest predictors of early retirement (i.e., retiring before age 65) and of age at retirement include both structural factors and subjective factors, such as self- rated health and attitudes. When retirement is defined by amount of employment, job characteristics are more important predictors than all the others combined. |
