Example text

In agricultural societies farm succession was regulated within families and entailed provisions for "retiring" parents (Held, 1982). The support of older parents usually placed no undue burden on the younger generation because few people enjoyed a lengthy period of old age during which they were unable to work (Wolfbein, 1949, cited in Hardy & Hazelrigg, in press). Changes in the mode of production and in the employ ability of older workers raised the costs of parental support (see above). However, the birth of old age security programs and specific regulations within these programs were not only a response to these changes but also reflected the need to stimulate consumption (Graebner, 1980).

However, other state policies also impact on retirement transitions and especially ben- 26 RETIREMENT efits. For example, family policies pertaining to parental leave or the supply of subsidized child care influence parents' (typically mothers') ability to combine child rearing and employment. As noted above, lengthy disruptions in employment can lead to significant reductions in Social Security benefits and are partly responsible for women's enhanced risk of poverty in their later years (National Economic Council Interagency Working Group on Social Security, 1998; Smeeding, 1999).

For example, there is little evidence supporting the common myth that health declines in retirement (Ekerdt, 1987). Rather, health problems predating retirement, sometimes reflecting longterm illness associated with discontinuous work histories, cause premature retirement (Hayward, Friedman, & Chen, 1996) and are bound to undermine retirement well-being (Bosse, Alduo, Levenson, & Workman-Daniels, 1991; Calasanti, 1996a; Crowley, 1985; Kim & Moen, 2002; Seccombe & Lee, 1986; Szinovacz, 1989). On the other hand, retirement from jobs involving hazardous work conditions may promote early retirement and retirement adjustment.
