After the retirement era, work may improve your satisfaction with your life

Many people look to retirement, but continuing to work at a later time may benefit your well-being-especially if you are a man.

People are increasingly retirement at a later time. A report issued by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) found that 28.9 per cent of children between the ages of 65 and 69 through 38 member states She still operates in 2023Up from 15.9 percent in 2000. But the impact of this on people’s happiness is a little concept.

To get an understanding of the topic, Alisa Loen At the University of Haifa and There is stray At Tel Aviv University, in both Israel, I looked at the social survey data collected by the Israeli Central Bureau of Israel. Then they compared the experiences of more than 3,300 women and a little more than 2000 men who reached their retirement from 62 and 67.

The couple found that both men and women were more likely to work in full -time if they had a lower family income. But the men who did this also classified their economic, families, emotional and emotional satisfaction at the level of equality with or even higher than those who did not work at all.

This was true regardless of the full -time work type of men. Meanwhile, women have only experienced improved family and economic satisfaction, and only if they occupy a professional, technical or administrative job.

The researchers say that this may be due Women may get more sense of goal and fulfill other aspects of life. “Women may have other sources of emotional support or social participation, so they do not get it from work, they get it from another place,” says Loin.

“Men, until now, still see their role as taking care of the family and achieving success in the work – and does not stop at 65 [the age people used to be forced to retire in the UK]He says Curry Cooper At Manchester University, UK.

The results were more mixed when assessing the welfare of the participants who worked part -time, with different results according to the type of job and how contentment is measured, as well as whether the participant is a man or a woman.

People whose first well -being could have a fully -time work later in life, which may be affected by the results. Cooper says the results may also not apply to other countries or cultures.
