| Annotation | The relationship between retired women's employment history and their social integration and social support networks in retirement is explored. Employment history is defined by former occupation (professional, paraprofessional, non-professional) and job continuity (discontinuous or continuous). The sample consists of 350 retired women aged 50 to 83 with diverse occupational histories who were retired an average of 3.5 years. Results indicate occupational status may influence women's social integration, part-time employment, caregiving tasks and satisfaction with social support. Continuity or employment appears to only marginally influence social integration with no impact on social support or satisfaction with social support. (RH). |
