Retirement Expectations of Middle-Aged Men Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1971 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Early Retirement; Employment; Family Resources; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Retirement/Retirement Planning; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Work Attitudes Data from the first and second-round personal interviews of the NLS survey of middle-aged men are used to study the factors affecting the decision to retire and its short-run stability. Multivariate techniques are used to isolate the importance of age, race, financial needs, ability to work, and resources in the absence of work as factors affecting an expectation of early retirement (prior to age 65) and changes in retirement expectations between 1966 and 1967. The authors find that economic and noneconomic factors are important in conditioning these expectations. Less conclusive evidence is provided that the same factors are important in explaining changes in these expectations. Some of the reasons for the latter finding are also explored. |
