| Annotation | The effect of spouse and marital relationship characteristics in labour force withdrawal, and differences between husbands' and wives' retirement are assessed using data from the US National Survey of Families and Households. Husbands adjust their retirement in terms of wives' benefit eligibility, whereas wives' retirement is contingent on the couple's income. Husbands also tend to leave the work force when their wives are ill. Retirement decisions also seem to reflect considerations about post-marital retirement quality and the husband's status in the marriage. Gender differences prevail with regard to the impact of work and marital history on retirement decisions. (RH). |
