“…First, we find a positive association between income and some preparation outcomes. This finding is in line with previous evidence: for instance, a higher income is associated with reflexive planning for later life in Canada (Denton et al, 2004). More generally, the positive link between income and preparation is consistent with social inequalities in morbidity and mortality in old age (Apouey, 2010(Apouey, , 2015b.…”

“…Using data on 51 mid-life and older Canadians, a qualitative study by Denton et al (2004) shows that planning for the future seems to be associated with taking a future-time perspective and having a sense of control over one's life. Compared with this study, our analysis employs a large sample of individuals and uses econometric techniques to assess the roles of demographic characteristics, preferences, and expectations on planning, all other things being equal.…”

“…However, the concept of "financial preparation for retirement" is narrower than that of "preparation for old age," because it solely focuses on the exit from the workforce, and exclusively emphasizes planning in the financial domain. In contrast, the literature in these fields on "preparation for old age" that takes a unified approach on preparation in several domains is limited (Denton et al, 2004;Kornadt and Rothermund, 2014).…”

This article assesses the roles of preferences and expectations on preparation for old age, employing unique data on French individuals aged 50+. The data do not only contain information on the general feeling to prepare for old age and on specific preparation activities in various domains, but also on risk and time attitudes, family and social altruism, and expected disability and longevity. Half of the sample reports preparing for old age. Future orientation emerges as an important predictor of preparation. While risk attitudes and altruism also matter for preparation, their effect may be less systematic across outcomes than that of general future orientation. Individuals who expect to become disabled or to live longer are more likely to prepare for old age. Policies promoting healthy aging should include messages targeting present-oriented individuals and try to make people more future-oriented.

“…Os objetivos de vida tornaram-se os pequenos prazeres do cotidiano, como aproveitar a companhia de amigos e familiares. A perspectiva temporal de futuro passou a ser balizada pelos eventos do dia-a-dia, isto é, o planejamento foi visto mais como uma reação às ocorrên-cias do cotidiano do que uma resposta proativa e previamente preparada (Denton et al, 2004).…”

RESUMOO objetivo deste estudo foi descrever qualitativamente a experiência de aposentadoria em profissionais autônomos. Foram entrevistados dez trabalhadores autônomos aposentados, com idades entre 60 e 91 anos. As entrevistas foram analisadas seguindo uma abordagem fenomenológica empírica. Para os autônomos, a aposentadoria basicamente significa o recebimento de um benefício social. Verificou-se que existe um desejo de continuar trabalhando até a imposição de limites do corpo e da mente para a saída total do mercado de trabalho. Conclui-se que a aposentadoria para os autônomos promove uma transformação do papel de trabalhador ao longo do tempo, modificando a dinâmica de outros papéis desempenhados pelo sujeito. Palavras-chave: aposentadoria; profissional autônomo; aposentadoria em autônomos; envelhecimento; fenomenologia. ABSTRACT The retirement experience of self-employed professionals: a phenomenological studyThe aim of this study was to qualitatively describe the retirement experience of self-employed professionals. Ten retirees who worked as self-employed workers, aged between 60 and 91 years, were interviewed. The interviews were analyzed employing an empirical phenomenological approach. For the self-employed professionals, retirement basically means receiving a social benefit. There is a desire to keep working while the body and the mind still allow the development of professional activities before quitting work totally. In conclusion, retirement among self-employed people promotes a transformation in the work role through time, changing the dynamics of other social roles enacted by the subject.
