“…Some studies focused on potential moderators of the association. In an analysis of blue-collar retirees ( Bacharach, Bamberger, Biron, & Horowitz-Rozen, 2008 ), those who had higher preretirement job satisfaction demonstrated greater alcohol consumption and more problems related to drinking in retirement. The conditions of the workplace exit itself, such as whether the decision is voluntary, may also impact drinking behaviors.…”

Background and Objectives People are now spending longer in retirement than ever before and retirement has been found to influence health. This study systematically reviewed the impact of retirement on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors (metabolic risk factors, blood biomarkers, physical activity, smoking, drinking, and diet). Research Design and Methods Longitudinal studies published in Medline, Embase, Social Science Citation Index, PsycINFO, and Social Policy and Practice were searched. No language restrictions were applied if there was an English abstract. Eighty-two longitudinal studies were included after critical appraisals. Results Studies in the United States often found no significant effect of retirement on CVD, while studies in European countries, except France, showed a detrimental effect of retirement on CVD. Results from the United States and several European countries consistently show that retirement increase adiposity measures among those retired from physically demanding jobs. For diabetes and hypertension, five out of nine studies suggest no effect of retirement. Retirement has been repeatedly linked to increasing leisure-time physical activity but may reduce work- and transport-related physical activity in turn. Most studies showed that retirement either decreased smoking or had no effect on smoking. The evidence did not show a clear conclusion on drinking. Only a few studies have assessed the impact on diet and blood biomarkers. Discussion and Implications Effect of retirement varies according to the health outcomes studied and country of the study population. Policy concerning extending the retirement age needs to focus on ensuring they are suited to the individual.

“…Moreover, job stress would act as a push factor, due to the fact that abandonment of a negative work environment will be experienced as a relief, as supported by empirical evidence (Wang, 2007 ). Primary studies showed a wide range of results, from Bacharach et al ( 2008 ), who found a relationship between job satisfaction and ER of r = 0.20, to Savwoir ( 1986 ), who reported negative relationships of r = −0.20. Regarding job stress and ER relationships, a great deal of variation has been found in empirical data.…”

Early Retirement: A Meta-Analysis of Its Antecedent and Subsequent Correlates

Early or voluntary retirement (ER) can be defined as the full exit from an organizational job or career path of long duration, decided by individuals of a certain age at the mid or late career before mandatory retirement age, with the aim of reducing their attachment to work and closing a process of gradual psychological disengagement from working life. Given the swinging movements that characterize employment policies, the potential effects of ER—both for individuals and society—are still controversial. This meta-analysis examined the relationships between ER and its antecedent and subsequent correlates. Our review of the literature was generated with 151 empirical studies, containing a total number of 706,937 participants, with a wide range of sample sizes (from N = 27 to N = 127,384 participants) and 380 independent effect sizes (ESs), which included 171 independent samples. A negligible ES value for antecedent correlates of early retirement (family pull, job stress, job satisfaction, and income) was obtained (which ranged from r = −0.13 to 0.19), while a fair ES was obtained for workplace timing for retirement, organizational pressures, financial security, and poor physical and mental health, (ranging from r = 0.28 to 0.25). Regarding ER subsequent correlates, poor ESs were obtained, ranging from r = 0.08 to 0.18 for the relationships with subsequent correlates, and fair ESs only for social engagement (r = −0.25). Examination of the potential moderator variables has been conducted. Only a reduced percentage of variability of primary studies has been explained by moderators. Although potential moderator factors were examined, there are several unknown or not measurable factors which contribute to ER and about which there are very little data available. The discussion is aimed to offer theoretical and empirical implications suggestion in order to improve employee's well-being.

“…Empirical studies have consistently shown that involuntary retirement negatively influences late-life outcomes leading to difficulties adjusting to retirement and declining life satisfaction (9) as well as the adoption of Dingemans & Henkens unhealthy lifestyles (10) including smoking and problematic drinking behavior (11). Although an abrupt and unanticipated nature of involuntary career exit is often argued to complicate the successful transition to retirement, some studies have concluded that the lack of a sense of personal control over the retirement decision is specifically responsible for these negative changes in late-life outcomes (12,13).…”

This paper takes an innovative approach by applying fixed-effects analysis to investigate whether intra-individual changes in the work status in later life are associated with changes in mental well-being after retirement. The results show that bridge employment can function as a control maintenance strategy for involuntary retirees and prevent negative changes in self-efficacy and life satisfaction. Original article Scand J Work Environ Health. 2015;41(1):16-23. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3464 How do retirement dynamics influence mental well-being in later life? A 10-year panel study Objectives Empirical studies have consistently shown the negative impact of involuntary retirement on mental well-being. However, few studies have thus far investigated the degree to which post-retirement work affects late-life outcomes. The present study improves our understanding of the impact of retirement on the self-efficacy and life satisfaction among older adults by focusing on the combined impact of retirement voluntariness and participation in post-retirement work. AffiliationMethods By using panel data on retirement behavior in the Netherlands, we estimated fixed effects and multilevel models to explain (intra-)individual changes in self-efficacy and life satisfaction over a 10-year period in which most participants made the transition to retirement. ResultsThe results indicate that involuntary retirement is associated with decreases in both self-efficacy and life satisfaction in later life. Whereas involuntary retirees who participate in bridge jobs show no changes in life satisfaction, those involuntary retirees without bridge jobs experience a decline in life satisfaction. In addition, we found enhanced levels of life satisfaction for voluntary retirees in bridge employment. The association with self-efficacy was less pronounced. ConclusionThese results suggest that the characteristics of the retirement process influence changes in mental well-being in later life. Specifically, bridge employment alleviates the negative consequences of involuntary retirement and even seems to enhance post-retirement well-being for voluntary retirees.
