Description
Yun Taek Oh and Jacqui Smith published a study in 2024 on how older workers identify their own retirement status over time. A worker may describe themselves as not retired, partly retired, or completely retired, and that identity can shift back and forth across the years before they leave the workforce for good.
The researchers used the Health and Retirement Study, a large United States survey running from 1992 to 2020. They sorted close to two and a half thousand workers into four trajectory groups: early, late, traditional, and partial transitions into a retired identity. Birth cohort, education, income from career jobs, and wealth were all associated with which path a worker took. Those on late or partial paths began with better physical, mental, and cognitive health. Their health also declined more slowly than the health of those on early or traditional paths.
