| Annotation | Life-cycle theory suggests that workers would prefer to gradually enter retirement from their current jobs. Using data from 15 campuses of the University of North Carolina system, this study provides a first look at the effects of the introduction of a phased retirement programme on faculty retirement decisions. The authors' analysis indicates that most of the faculty members choosing phased retirement would have been likely to have remained full-time at their universities, had the phased retirement option not been available.
