| Annotation | Data from the US National Longitudinal Surveys of Mature Men was used to test the net effect of retirement on happiness with life, and to analyse an evaluation of a retirement item to discern specific factors that cause lower satisfaction with retirement. The main findings are as follows: first, although a negative bivariate relationship exists between retirement and happiness with life, retirement has no significant net effect; second, health factors, recent widowhood, and income have the greatest impact on happiness with life; and lastly, poor health, lower income, and earlier retirement are the main determinants of negative evaluations of retirement.
