Abstract

Lost work opportunity and forced retirement demonstrate negative health impacts related to occupational deprivation. Measuring occupational loss during the retirement transition can be problematic. The objective of the study is to clarify measurement of involuntary retirement in its relationship to occupational loss and deprivation. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, survey data on unemployment, forced retirement, and earlier-than-planned retirement from 195 screened retirees yielded 102 reporting at least one lost work opportunity event, with 18 interviewed about occupational loss within the analytic timeframe. Planned retirement age was similar for full-employment and lost work opportunity groups. Actual retirement age was earlier in the lost work opportunity sample (age 57.5 compared with 61.2). Interviews identified a 22% discrepancy between forced retirement reported in survey versus interview data. Themes emerging from the interviews indicated financial and identity challenges from lost work opportunity, a dialectical trade-off between lost opportunity and daily freedom, and overall resilience.

对退休后失去职业选择的混合方法研究。

失去工作机会和被迫退休显示出与职业剥夺有关的负面健康影响。衡量退休过渡期的职业损失可能存在问题。本研究的目的是澄清衡量非自愿退休与职业损失和剥夺的关系。采用解释性顺序混合方法设计，对 195 名经过筛选的退休人员进行了有关失业、被迫退休和比计划提前退休的调查，其中 102 人报告了至少一次失去工作机会的事件，18 人在分析时间范围内接受了有关职业损失的访谈。充分就业组和失去工作机会组的计划退休年龄相似。失去工作机会样本的实际退休年龄较早（57.5 岁，61.2 岁）。访谈发现，调查报告中的强迫退休与访谈数据之间存在 22% 的差异。访谈中出现的主题包括失去工作机会带来的经济和身份挑战、在失去机会和日常自由之间的辩证权衡以及整体复原力。
