Description
Björn Slaug and seven co-authors catalogued life changes around retirement age in Sweden and Germany, in a study from twenty twenty-three. Lives alternate between stable spans and events that force adjustment. How changes cluster, and in what order they arrive, may matter as much as each change alone.
Interviews with fifty people covered about ten years around retirement. Each person faced close to four changes on average, and a quarter faced more than five. Retirement and moving home often came together. Illness often followed a chain of earlier events, while a new partner often started one. Gaps between events varied widely. The study maps how change piles up in this stage of life.
