PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS AMONG RETIRED PEOPLE IN SELECTED URBAN AND RURAL – A REVIEW

ABSTRACT Retirement is the act of retiring or the state of being retired, i.e. to withdraw oneself from business, public life or and to remove from active service. However, it is important to recognize that retirement as a single life event is rarely the cause of these outcomes. Perhaps people with greater work ethic might be more prepared for retirement and might feel it to be their “just reward” for their years of hard work. Also found that retirees who had higher entrepreneurial orientations were more likely to engage in career bridge employment than in full retirement, whereas retirees who had more desire to pursue a new career were more likely to engage in bridge employment in a different field than in full retirement. A significantly negative relationship was found between loneliness, depression, hopelessness and income. Conclusion shows that institutionalization might lead to poor mental health.
