Work, Ageing, and Retirement: What Do We Know and Where Do We Go from Here?
This collection is focused on understanding what we know and what we need to know on the topic of work, ageing and retirement. Work, Employment and Society has published 44 articles on this topic over 35 years, from 1989 to 2024. We analyse this article corpus and identify four themes that shed insight into what sociologists of work and ageing know: the macrostructural perspective, the organisational perspective, individual life courses, and reti…
Describing and explaining the social integration of international retirement migrants: A study in thirty-five destination countries
Limited social integration can have adverse effects on both migrants and host communities. For the case of international retirement migrants, previous evidence suggests that migrants struggle to integrate into the local community. Using a novel survey of Dutch retirement migrants based on a probability sample (DRM 2021), we describe and explain Dutch retirement migrants’ social integration with locals, Dutch migrants, and non-Dutch migrants in th…
What explains the migrant pension penalty? A systematic review and comprehensive model
The number of retired migrants has vastly increased in Western societies and is projected to grow further in the decades ahead. Many of those migrants are more likely than nonmigrants to encounter severe financial hardships during their retirement years, raising the following question: What explains this “migrant pension penalty?” Based on a systematic literature review of 86 articles, this article presents a comprehensive model for understanding…
Early retirement for workers in physically demanding jobs? An ageing society conundrum
To what extent should workers in physically demanding jobs be given the possibility of earlier retirement? This is one of the many pressing pension reform issues that ageing societies face. This article examines the extent to which such special treatment is supported by the general public. We uniquely combine a representative survey (2,136 respondents) with a vignette study to explore what respondents in the Netherlands consider a fair public pen…
Life Courses and Retirement Adjustment Among Men and Women in the Netherlands
This study examines life courses and retirement adjustment in the Netherlands. Gender-split latent class analyses identify four distinct trajectories among men and women, covering life events in work, family, health, care, and volunteering. The largest trajectories indicate traditional male and female life courses. Compared to those with traditional male trajectories, men with lifelong volunteering adjust better to retirement, financially, social…
The differential impact of retirement on social and emotional loneliness
Loneliness is relatively common among older adults and variation in loneliness can partially be explained by the occurrence of various life events. One such event is retirement. However, research on the impact of retirement on loneliness has yielded conflicting results. We address this by studying the impact of retirement on within-person change on two dimensions of loneliness: social and emotional. We argue that retirement might have opposing im…
To what extent are older career workers’ hourly wages reduced when work hours are scaled back
Older workers generally, and pension-eligible workers in particular, face many trade-offs when it comes to continued work later in life. In this study, we explore the degree to which older workers accept lower hourly wages in return for hours reductions. We use longitudinal, biennial data on nearly 14,000 older Americans from the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study. The Health and Retirement Study began in 1992 and now contains …
The role of farmer’s resources, capabilities and perceptions on reforestation and forest cover in the Atlantic Forest
In the context of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), insights are urgently needed on how to engage land users in reforestation efforts. This study examined the resources, capabilities and perspectives of land users, i.e., farmers, in relation to reforestation in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), an ecoregion that hosts 70 % of the Brazilian population while is also a biodiversity hotspot with only 28 % of native vegetation cov…
The Differential Impact of Retirement on Contact Frequency With Family, Friends, Neighbors, and Coworkers
Objectives Most studies on retirement and social network dynamics focus on the closer social network, leaving the role of more peripheral contacts largely overlooked. This article studies how retirement affects contact frequency with a wider range of social ties. We formulate and test differential hypotheses for each category of ties, and additionally examine gender and partner status differences. Methods We analyze 3 waves of panel data of the N…
Return migration of Dutch pensioners abroad: Intentions and behaviour in a three-year follow-up study
Insecurities and risks related to ageing in a foreign country could fuel return migration among international retirement migrants. The few studies examining retirement migrants' return have been small in scale and focused mainly on return intentions rather than return behaviour. In this paper, we examine the prevalence and predictors of return migration among retirement migrants and the discrepancy between return intentions and return behaviour. …
Can pension fund design increase pension savings? Evidence from a conjoint experiment in six European countries
In times of welfare state retrenchment, occupational pension savings become essential for ensuring adequate retirement income. We know that individuals’ socioeconomic characteristics and a country’s characteristics matter for the level of occupational pension plan (OPP) savings. However, there is a gap in knowledge regarding how pension fund design affects pension savings. This paper fills this gap by examining the influence of OPP characteristic…
Patterns of work and retirement in a pension system with a flexible old-age retirement age: A register study of Finnish employees and self-employed persons born in 1949
The aims of this study were to explore patterns of work and retirement of Finnish employees and self-employed persons in a pension system with a flexible old-age retirement age and how income develops in these patterns. We used individual-level register data from Statistics Finland of the total Finnish birth cohort born in 1949. The cohort was 62–70 years old over the study period 2011–2019. Sequence and cluster analyses were used to identify typ…
Looking Back on Career, Looking Forward to Retirement: Antecedents of Subjective Career Evaluations and Their Impact on Retirement Adjustment
Our results demonstrate the importance of life course events on older workers' evaluations of their careers and the long-term impact of subjective career evaluations. Further research is needed to evaluate the predictive utility of these evaluations for other outcomes in older adulthood
The experiences of grandparents looking after their grandchildren: Examining feelings of burden and obligation among non-custodial grandparents
Quantitative research on how grandparents fare when looking after grandchildren has mainly focused on general wellbeing indicators, showing that grandparenting is linked to higher wellbeing. However, global assessments of wellbeing reveal little about activity-specific experiences and only indirectly provide insights about how grandparents experience grandchild care. Whereas qualitative studies have observed diversity in grandparenting experience…
Relevant dimensions to give meaning to pension decisions
Pension participants face complex decisions. Information about the decision alternatives often contains the exact monetary amounts associated with the alternatives. Grounded in Fuzzy-Trace Theory (FTT), we argue that informed decision making requires participants to (accurately) understand meaningful differences between decision alternatives, rather than to rely on purely numerical differences in amounts. The objective of this study was to identi…
Broken promises? Trust and pension savings in turbulent times
Using survey data on household savings and trust, we investigate the determinants of trust in one’s pension fund and its effect on the decision to build up additional retirement savings. Key in our approach is the realization that trust in itself may respond to the usage of additional savings instruments, through learning, experience, and information acquisition, for instance. We therefore use an instrumental variables approach, based on exogenou…
Who is aging out of place? The role of migrant selectivity in international retirement migration
International retirement migration gained popularity with the rise of globalisation and individualisation, but little is known about whom the retirement migrants are compared to retirees who do not migrate. To gain insight into who migrates compared to who stays, we examine a broad set of individual determinants. We collected data for the survey of Dutch Retirement Migrants Abroad, a new dataset based on a probability sample of Dutch nationals wi…
A distaste for insecurity: Job Preferences of Young People in the Transition to Adulthood
Given the trend towards labour market flexibility in various European countries, this article examines whether the offered type of employment contract has an impact on young people's ratings of the attractiveness of a job. It empirically assesses the notion that young people's preference for secure employment increases as they transition into adulthood. We conducted a factorial survey among a representative sample of 1,025 people aged 18-35 years…
Migrating to a new country in late life: A review of the literature on international retirement migration
In the last few decades, a substantial number of older adults have migrated to new countries around the retirement age to raise their quality of life, a phenomenon that has been labeled as international retirement migration. The scattered body of research
Institutional Design of Pension Systems Versus Labor Market Structure: What Matters Most
Since the 1980s, policy makers have favored Defined Contribution (DC) pension systems as the alternative to address the unsustainability of Defined Benefit systems. While DC schemes offer benefits and economic advantages, they also present challenges and limitations. We evaluate the mandatory DC pension system for workers in the private formal sector in Mexico, introduced in 1997. We intend to determine for which workers the design of the system …
Employment Effects of Incentivized Gradual Retirement Plans
We investigate the effect of Incentivized Gradual Retirement plans (GRPs) on employment. GRPs encourage later retirement of older workers by offering a reduction in working hours with only a limited decrease in net earnings and pension accrual. A second policy aim is that municipalities use this freed up capacity to hire more young employees. We exploit variation in the availability of GRPs between Dutch municipalities to identify its employment …
Employers’ Retirement Age Norms in European Comparison
Policies incentivizing longer working lives can remain ineffective if employers are not able and willing to employ an aging workforce. Depending on what employers consider appropriate age norms for work and retirement, they may be more willing to recruit and retain older workers. This study investigates how these retirement age norms differ across Europe and how they are related to country- and gender-specific pension policies and employment prac…
The Skill-Specific Automatability of Aging Workers and Its Impact on Retirement Decisions
Research regarding the effects of automation on labor supply often assesses the labor force as a whole and disregards specific effects on aging workers. In light of rapid technological changes in the labor market, we assess the linkage between the automatability of aging workers and their retirement decisions. Based on the theoretical model of task-based technological changes and drawing data from the Health and Retirement Study and O*NET 2000–20…
Age-Related Differences in Job Search Behavior: Do Older Jobseekers Need a Larger Social Network
Increasing the employment rate of individuals aged 55+ is a key challenge in many OECD countries. While labor market discrimination and policy measures have been put forward as possible explanations, the role of job search remains largely unexplored. Yet, it determines to a large extent the match between supply and demand on the labor market. In this paper, we examine age-related differences in job search behavior. As skills have often become out…
Justice Matters. News Framing Effects on Opinions about Pension Reform
As aging populations put pressure on pension systems worldwide, pension reforms have dominated the (political) agenda in many countries for years. The media are essential information providers on such hotly debated issues. By selecting and highlighting certain aspects of an issue and glossing over others, also known as framing, news media can propagate a particular interpretation of the issue to the public. This study therefore approaches pension…
Explaining emigration intentions and behaviour in the Netherlands, 2005-10
We examined the emigration intentions of native-born Dutch residents and their subsequent emigration behaviour from 2005 to 2010. Data were collected from two surveys on emigration intentions, one conducted locally and one nationally. A number of novel results stand out. First, intentions were good predictors of future emigration: 34 per cent of those who had stated an intention to emigrate actually emigrated within the 5-year follow-up period. S…
Productivity of Older Workers: Perceptions of Employers and Employees
What determines the perceived productivity of the older worker and how does this perception compare to the perception of the productivity of the younger worker? In this study we present evidence based on data from Dutch employers and employees. Productivity perceptions are affected by one's age and one's position in the hierarchy. The young favor the young, the old favor the old, and employers value the productivity of workers less than employees…
Involuntary Retirement: The Role of Restrictive Circumstances, Timing, and Social Embeddedness
The way he or she frames the retirement transition in social relationships within the family and at work affects the older worker's subjective experience of retirement
Longing for the Good Life: Understanding Emigration from a High-Income Country
The outline of this article is as follows. First, we provide information on trends in emigration from highly developed countries. We review salient aspects of Dutch emigration history to provide a broader context for the extraordinary nature of today’s upsurge in emigration. We describe the theoretical background, data, measures of concepts, and statistical methodology. We conduct empirical analyses of potential migrants’ evaluation of public goo…
Retirement Intentions and Spousal Support: A Multi-Actor Approach
Future research on the retirement decision-making process should focus on the family unit rather than simply on the individual worker, and be extended to different types of retirement behavior
Couples' Adjustment to Retirement: A Multi-Actor Panel Study
Retirement affects both partners, albeit in a different way. Retirement preparation programs should pay attention to the fact that adjustment is an individualized process experienced differently by each partner
Involuntary retirement, bridge employment, and satisfaction with life: A longitudinal investigation
The increased popularity of bridge employment has raised questions about its consequences for well-being in late adult life. This research explored the consequences of bridge employment for the level of life satisfaction of older adults during the retirement transition period. Changes in life satisfaction were considered to be a function of the different intentions and motives for taking bridge jobs. Furthermore, the impact of bridge employment w…
Dealing with older workers in Europe: A comparative survey of employers' attitudes and actions
This article addresses employers' attitudes and actions regarding the position of older workers. A comparative survey among employers from four European countries — Greece, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom — is used to examine their expectations with respect to the ageing of the workforce, the productivity of older workers and their recruitment and retention behaviour regarding this cohort. The results show that in spite of the perce…
Working retirees in Europe: Individual and Societal Determinants
One of the solutions that could be used to resource the needs of ageing populations is the encouragement of individuals to extend working lives beyond retirement, often referred to as ‘bridge employment’. Although previous studies provide important insights into individual determinants of bridge employment, there is scant research on the extent to which differences across countries and between genders exist and how these might be explained by eco…
Spousal Influences on the Decision to Retire
Although it is widely recognized that retirement is a family affair affecting both the retiree and his or her spouse, most studies still treat retirement as an individual phenomenon. Research is focused primarily on individual factors and their impact on individuals’ retirement decisions. Data from the 1995 Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute Survey on Older Workers, in which 1,052 older workers and their spouses participated, sho…
Work-related factors as predictors in the retirement decision-making process of older workers in the Netherlands
This article examines work-related factors and their impact on the retirement decision-making process. We particularly focus on organisational human resources policies and normative climate regarding retirement. Organisations create opportunities and conditions for career extension via their personnel instruments. The normative climate may encourage or discourage retirement. We use a ten-year follow-up study among 1,458 older employees in the Net…
Retention of Older Workers: Impact of Managers' Age Norms and Stereotypes
Delaying mandatory retirement age is one of the measures that governments across Europe propose to combat future labour force shortages. Although a growing number of older workers are willing to extend their working career, the evidence suggests that employers favour early retirement rather than retention of older workers. The current study examines how managers evaluate the desirability of postponing retirement of older workers and what is the i…
The Impact of Midlife Educational, Work, Health, and Family Experiences on Men's Early Retirement
Given the destandardization of life courses, information on distal life experiences might become even more important toward understanding retirement in the future
Late-Career Work Disengagement: The Role of Proximity to Retirement and Career Experiences
For achieving a comprehensive understanding of the retirement process, not only the lived past but also the anticipated future (i.e., expected time-left in the current state) should be taken into account
Early-retirement reform: Can it and will it work
Early retirement from the labour force has become standard practice for most employees in the industrialised world. However, as a result of the rising costs of early-retirement schemes, curbing the outflow of older workers from the labour force has become a central government policy objective. Early-retirement reforms under which benefits are financed on a more actuarially neutral basis are currently being implemented in The Netherlands. At prese…
How Skill Requirements Affect the Likelihood of Recruitment of Older Workers in Poland: The Indirect Role of Age Stereotypes
This article analyses the role of age stereotypes in the employability of older people. Unlike in existing studies, we shift emphasis from a direct consideration of stereotypes, focusing instead on skill requirements during recruitment. Using five waves of an employer survey from Poland, we assess how the likelihood of recruiting people over 50 years old depends on the skill requirements of the post. This study uses a real-life framework by refer…
So now what? Effects of retirement on civic engagement
Retirement is an event that often brings about great changes in a person's personal and social life. For many people, work is not only a way to fill time and earn money, but also important for their identity and meaning in life. After retirement, these benefits of work are lost, and it is expected that people will seek substitutes for this loss. This paper focuses on the effects of retirement on informal civic activities such as the support given…
The recruitment of early retirees: A vignette study of the factors that affect managers' decisions
Retirement is characterised as a dynamic process that has several different outcomes, from early retirement to re-entry to the labour force. Recent studies of the Dutch population show that a substantial number of early retirees re-enter the workforce after early retirement, but others do not succeed even though they want to return to paid work. An often-named reason for their failures is bias in the selection process. This raises the questions a…
Explaining low international labour mobility: The role of networks, personality, and perceived labour market opportunities
Why is international labour mobility so low in high‐income regions of the European Union? To shed light on this issue, we examine international labour migration intentions of the Dutch potential labour force. A key characteristic of intended (temporary) labour migration of the Dutch is that it occurs at a low level and is strongly age related. The low expected rate of migration is closely connected to (low) expectations about finding work abroad …
Gender and Educational Inequalities in Extending Working Lives: Late-Life Employment Trajectories Across Three Decades in Seven Countries
Public policies encourage later retirement, but they often do not account for discrepancies in the capacity for extending working lives. This paper studies trends and inequalities in extending working lives between 1990 and 2019 from gender and education perspectives in seven countries (Australia, Germany, Russia, South Korea, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States). The three-decade-long data provide insights into the societal transition…
Forge Healthy Pathways to Retirement With Employer Practices: A Multilevel Perspective
Countries in the Western world are experiencing increasing challenges associated with an aging population. This aging process is unprecedented, and the era of young population structures will not return. This structural demographic shift has not only made the sustainability of pensions and social security key issues for governments but also influences the ways in which people organize their working lives and firms manage their workforces. In this…
The Differential Impact of Retirement on Informal Caregiving, Volunteering, and Grandparenting: Results of a 3-Year Panel Study
Our findings suggest that volunteering is important for replacing weak ties after full retirement, while grandparenting might be a new, central role in retirement-irrespective of work engagement. Retirees seem to engage in unpaid productive activities for different reasons
Changes in Life Satisfaction in the Retirement Transition: Interaction Effects of Transition Type and Individual Resources
The impact of retirement on well-being varies between individuals, but also within individuals over time. Type of transition and individual differences in resource capability are two factors likely to influence the retirement adjustment process, but we still lack in our understanding of the importance of these factors in relation to each other. The aim of this study was to investigate interaction effects of transition type and individual resource…

Married Couples and Their Labour Market Status
In this article we raise the question whether there is a relationship between the labour-market status of partners in the Netherlands in 1985–6. Possible explanations for such a relationship are represented by three hypotheses, namely the shared restrictions hypothesis, the spouse selection hypothesis, and the influence hypothesis. The explanations mentioned are tested for four types of labour-market status, namely employed, unemployed, disabled,…
Unemployment and the Older Worker in the Netherlands: Re-entry into the Labour Force or Resignation
In this article we present the results of a panel survey in which 242 men aged 40 to 55 were followed for approximately seven years after they became involuntarily unemployed. The study focused on reintegration probabilities of the older workers and on the question of their reaction to a situation of prolonged unemployment. The study shows that if policy is not changed, the probability of the reintegration of older, long-term unemployed persons i…

Future research on the retirement decision-making process should focus on the family unit rather than simply on the individual worker, and be extended to different types of retirement behavior
How Influential Are Demography Journals
This article examines, by means of citation analysis for the years 1991-95, the process of knowledge dissemination in demography journals and the intellectual exchange of demography journals with neighboring social sciences. In addition, it investigates the degree of uncitedness in demography journals. It turns out that a considerable percentage of articles are left uncited: 36 percent of the articles published in demography journals between 1990…

Managing an Aging Workforce and a Tight Labor Market: Views Held by Dutch Employers
Demographers and Their Journals: Who Remains Uncited After Ten Years
This research note examines the level of uncitedness and the impact of articles published in the years 1990-92 in 17 demography journals. After ten years 24 percent of the demography articles are still uncited and the average number of citations per article is seven. The ten-year citation history reveals two novel insights. First, the impact of demography journals does not slow down significantly over time. The average number of citations in the …

Do different welfare states engender different policy preferences? Opinions on pension reforms in Eastern and Western Europe
This article examines whether the different welfare states of the European Union member states engender different policy preferences and attitudes among the population. More specifically, it investigates variations in attitudes towards population ageing and pension reforms, and variations in people's retirement age preferences and expectations. It is shown that despite the different cultures and welfare traditions in the old and new member states…

Mapping the Minds of Retirement Planners: A Cross-Cultural Perspective
This study explored the psychological mechanisms that underlie the retirement planning and saving tendencies of Dutch and American workers. Participants were 988 Dutch and 429 Americans, 25 to 64 years of age. Analyses were designed to (a) examine the extent to which structural variables were related to planning tendencies and (b) develop culture-specific path analysis models to identify the mechanisms that underlie perceived financial preparedne…
Adjustment to and satisfaction with retirement: Two of a kind?
Multiactor panel data on 778 Dutch employees were used to examine adjustment to and satisfaction with retirement. Regression analyses revealed that adjustment and satisfaction are related, but not identical. Adjustment problems arise from preretirement anxiety about the social consequences of retirement and from a lack of control over the decision. Retirement satisfaction is primarily related to the individual's access to key resources: finances,…
Dealing with older workers in Europe: A comparative survey of employers' attitudes and actions
This article addresses employers' attitudes and actions regarding the position of older workers. A comparative survey among employers from four European countries — Greece, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom — is used to examine their expectations with respect to the ageing of the workforce, the productivity of older workers and their recruitment and retention behaviour regarding this cohort. The results show that in spite of the perce…
Living longer, working longer? The impact of subjective life expectancy on retirement intentions and behaviour
BACKGROUND: Virtually all Western countries are seeking to bring retirement ages more in line with increases in longevity. The central question in this article is whether individuals choose a retirement age that fits their life expectancy. This would be ideal from a public policy perspective. The present study aims to test empirically whether retirement planning varies with expectations of survival among a sample of older employees in the Netherl…

Perceptions and expectations of pension savings adequacy: A comparative study of Dutch and American workers
What drives the perceptions of pension savings adequacy and what do workers expect to receive when they retire? These questions are assessed among married workers using an identical survey distributed to Dutch and American workers in 2007. Despite marked differences in expected pension replacement rates – where the Dutch replacement rates are systematically higher than the American rates – the perceived savings adequacy is more or less the same a…
Productivity of Older Workers: Perceptions of Employers and Employees
What determines the perceived productivity of the older worker and how does this perception compare to the perception of the productivity of the younger worker? In this study we present evidence based on data from Dutch employers and employees. Productivity perceptions are affected by one's age and one's position in the hierarchy. The young favor the young, the old favor the old, and employers value the productivity of workers less than employees…
How do employers cope with an ageing workforce: Views from employers and employees
How age-conscious are human resource policies? Using a survey of Dutch employers, we examine how employers deal with the prospect of an ageing work force. We supplement our analysis with an additional survey of Dutch employees to compare human resource
