Evidence from the NLS Older Men's cohort shows that self-reported health measures can be used with reasonable confidence to assess the role of health in the retirement decision. Retirement decisions are complex and are influenced by a number of economic and noneconomic factors, although it is not possible to estimate confidently their relative importance. These include health, attitude toward work in general, satisfaction with current job, and level of prospective retirement income.
