Employment and Retirement Among the Over 55s: Patterns, Preferences and Issues - Proceedings of Conference
This survey discovered that, while substantial minorities of the working over 55s would like to retire, many retired people would like to do some work particularly on a part-time basis. Satisfaction with retirement was found to be strongly linked with income, health status and whether retirement was voluntary or involuntary. Respondents expressed a strong preference for gradual retirement.
