Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) Studies show that financial factors have a statistically significant, but small, impact on retirement decisions. (2) So it is not surprising that non-financial factors have a major influence on those who choose to work into their late 60s or 70s. (3) When workers retire, they are often being pulled by a desire for other activities rather than pushed by a dislike of work.
