The last decades have observed a rapid increase of mental disorders in society, with about 450 million people with this diagnosis in the world. The high cost to the health system and the quality of life reinforces the discussion of the issue as a public health issue. There is an extensive discussion on the effect of depression in the decision to leave the labor market for older people. However, recent results indicate that the increase in the number of early retirement in many countries. The objective of this study is to investigate the relation between the newly-retirement and depression in U.S. women. Longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study between 1992 and 2004 are used. The central hypothesis is that being newly retired is negatively related to depressive states, and is based on the idea of social interaction as a protective agent of depression. The results show that retirement is strongly related to depression. Newly retired women have a worse picture of depression than women not retired and those who are already retired for over a year. |
