Abstract
Background and Objectives: With an aging population and growing economic hardship for many older adults, post-retirement work is increasingly common but often challenging due to complex, intersecting factors. This scoping review aims to identify key barriers and facilitators to post-retirement work. Methods: We searched APA PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed studies (2000-2025) on post-retirement work among adults aged 50-80. Eligible studies underwent two rounds of screening and risk of bias assessment. Results: Fifty-two studies were included in this scoping review. Four key themes emerged: (1) social factors, (2) health-related factors, (3) workplace factors, and (4) financial factors. Barriers and facilitators included health status, discrimination, job conditions, financial stability, policy support, social networks, and personal fulfillment. Discussion: Post-retirement work is shaped by diverse factors with important policy implications. Future research should examine underrepresented groups and regional differences.
背景与目的:随着人口老龄化和许多老年人日益增长的经济困难,退休后工作越来越普遍,但由于复杂的、交叉的因素,往往具有挑战性。这一范围审查旨在确定退休后工作的主要障碍和促进因素。方法:我们检索了APA PsycINFO、Embase、CINAHL、Scopus和Web of Science,检索了2000-2025年关于50-80岁成年人退休后工作的同行评议研究。符合条件的研究进行了两轮筛选和偏倚风险评估。结果:52项研究被纳入本范围综述。出现了四个关键主题:(1)社会因素,(2)健康相关因素,(3)工作场所因素,(4)财务因素。障碍和促进因素包括健康状况、歧视、工作条件、财务稳定性、政策支持、社会网络和个人成就感。讨论:退休后的工作受到多种因素的影响,这些因素具有重要的政策含义。未来的研究应检查代表性不足的群体和地区差异。
