TY - JOUR T1 - Gender differences in the effect of social resources and social status on the retirement satisfaction and health of retirees. JF - Journal of Gerontological Social Work Y1 - 2019 A1 - Wang, Yihan A1 - Matz-Costa, Christina KW - Gender Differences KW - Retirement Planning and Satisfaction KW - Social Support AB - This study explores the effect of positive and negative social support, social reciprocity, and subjective social status on the retirement satisfaction and health of retirees and gender differences therein. Using cross-sectional data from the 2010 and 2012 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), we found that social support seems to matter more for the retirement satisfaction and health of women, while social reciprocity matters more for the health of men and subjective social status for the retirement satisfaction of men. Implications for the development of social programs and policies over the life course are discussed.< U1 - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29768108?dopt=Abstract ER -
