| Annotation | The extent to which differences in how retirement is perceived is investigated - whether stemming from differences in restrictive circumstances, the older worker's preferences for retirement, timing, or social embeddedness. The authors used multi-actor panel data from 738 Dutch older workers who experienced the transition into retirement, to estimate an ordered logistic regression model to explain perceptions of involuntary retirement. This study showed that the way in which a person experiences retirement from the labour force is not influenced solely by factors that diminish the older worker's amount of choice (health and organizational constraints) but also relates to the older worker's social environment (social timing and social network influences). The way a person frames the retirement transition in social relationships within the family and at work affects the older worker's subjective experience of retirement. (RH). |
