Retirement by the Numbers
• In their early to mid-60s, most people are ready to retire. • By age 65, employment rates are half of what they were for workers a decade younger. • 61 percent of retirees report retire- ment is “very satisfying.” Only 7 percent report their retirement was not satisfying. • Those with defined benefit pension plans retire 1.3 years earlier than those with defined contribution plans. • 35 percent of those ages 55 to 59 cite poor health as very important in their de- cision to retire.
Retirement trends • Older adults increasingly are inter-
ested in part-time work opportuni- ties and other activities to stay busy and productive. • Baby boomers are expecting to work longer, perhaps presaging a reversal in the century-long trend to- ward earlier retirement. • In their 50s, most men (70 percent) and women (60 percent) work. • Married couples tend to make retirement deci- sions jointly, even when one will continue to work. People are less likely to retire if their spouses still are working. If one spouse
retires for health reasons, the other spouse is less likely to retire than if the spouse has voluntarily retired.
