Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that individuals who have little control over the decision to retire, such as those who are forced to retire due to health issues, financial constraints or organizational downsizing, are more likely to experience negative effects of retirement such as social isolation, depression and loss of purpose. Those who have more control over the decision, such as those who retire voluntarily or gradually reduce work hours, are more likely to have a positive retirement experience.
