Abstract

Data from the first wave of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) were analyzed to determine the underlying structure of the reasons for retirement and to determine if the reasons for retirement were related to subsequent retirement adjustment. The results suggested three types of reasons for retirement, work reasons, personal reasons, and family reasons. The results also showed that retirement because of poor health was the only reason for retirement that was related to the physical and emotional well-being of subsequent retirement.
