“…The retirement literature has indicated many ways in which individuals try to achieve this continuity. For example, retirees may view retirement as another logical career stage (Quick & Moen, 1998); keep a similar life routine or schedule as before (Kim & Feldman, 2000); participate in activities and sustain levels of social contact (Harlow & Cantor, 1996;Pushkar, Arbuckle, Conway, Chaikelson, & Maag, 1997); maintain stable self-concept (Troll & Skaff, 1997); or continue to work (Kim & Feldman, 2000). Generally, retirees try to maintain the same personal goals and lifestyle they had before retirement (Richardson & Kilty, 1991).…”

The present study examined the relationship between bridge employment and retirees' health outcomes (i.e., major diseases, functional limitations, and mental health). We used a nationally representative sample of 12,189 retirees from the first 4 waves of the Health and Retirement Study. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that compared with full retirement, engaging in bridge employment either in a career field or in a different field was associated with fewer major diseases and functional limitations, whereas engaging in career bridge employment was associated with better mental health. The findings highlight the health benefits of engaging in bridge employment for retirees. The practical implications of this study are discussed at both the individual and policy levels. Limitations of the current findings are also noted in conjunction with future research directions.

“…However, a number of surveys of older people have examined the role of income and wealth on health and measures related to quality of life in retirement. Unsurprisingly, post-retirement income has been found to predict retirement quality (Quick and Moen, 1998). Post-retirement income has generally found to be more predictive of quality of life for women than for men; this is largely because more retired women than men are living at or below poverty levels.…”

Abstract:The chapter aims to examine the definitional challenges associated with the term quality of life, measurement challenges, the challenges associated with enhancing quality of life, and the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in quality of life in old age, and finally comments on the challenges of a modern information society for older people. The term quality of life started as a social scientific index of the relative well-being of whole populations, i.e. the state of states. Nowadays quality of life is more likely to be viewed as an individualized aspect of the modern psyche. This shift in conceptualization is problematic in that, if quality of life is individualized, it cannot be meaningful to assess it in the same way for everyone. Nevertheless, over the years a vast range of methods of measuring quality of life has emerged, leading to several measurement challenges. Wealth, health and social relations have all been found to be prime determinants of subjective quality of life; for ICT to enhance quality of life for older people they need to mediate the relationships between these three important factors and quality of life. To date there is relatively little evidence that ICT has improved the quality of life of older people. Suggestions are made as to why ICT is unlikely to influence life quality for older citizens. The chapter is drawn to a close by asking if quality of life is a meaningless term and if the future is bleak for old people in a modern information society. The answer to both questions is no.

Štúdie zaoberajúce sa zabezpečením jednotlivcov na obdobie staroby poukazujú na to, že vek (Bassett et al, 1998;Glass, Kilpatrick, 1998b), rodinný stav (Cohn et al, 1975;Glass, Kilpatrick, 1998a;Henkens, 1999) a pohlavie (Behling et al, 1983;Hurd, Wise, 1989;Quick, Moen, 1998) vplývajú na rozhodovanie sa jednotlivcov.…”

Proactive Approach to Private Pension Savings: Key Determinants Component encouraging private savings was introduced or is under consideration in pension schemes of many countries. This diversification of old-age income sources shifts the responsibility for the level of retirement income to the individuals themselves and, at the same time, opens the question about their preparedness for such financial decisions. Inadequate savings could have enormous impact on their future life and determine their standard of living in the period of retirement. The aim of the paper is to identify key demographic and socio-economic factors determining individuals' proactive approach to the private pension savings. We also would like to point out group of individuals with a low level of the private savings involvement. These individuals are potentially poverty vulnerable in their old-age. Using representative sample of 2 826 citizens of the Slovak Republic from the Household Finance and Consumption Survey carried out by the National Bank of Slovakia, we have identified as key factors age, education, income, ownership of second real estate and other financial assets and sharing household with pensioners. Our research contributes to the extension of existing knowledge that can be used by countries with multi-pillar pension systems, absence of occupational employment funds and low availability of products for voluntary pension savings.Keywords: private saving for retirement, a multi-pillar pension schemes, support for private savings for old age period, public and private pension systems JEL Classification: J11, H55, H75, J32, G22 Úvod V dôsledku zvyšujúceho sa tlaku na verejné dôchodkové systémy vzniká popri štátom garantovanom starobnom dôchodku stále väčší priestor pre individuálne aktivity jednotlivcov, s cieľom zabezpečiť príjem v starobe aj prostredníctvom vlastných úspor. Prvotnou možnosťou pre ich tvorbu sú samotné dôchodkové systémy. Opatrenia zamerané na podporu súkromných úspor sú implementované priamo v dôchodkových systémoch mnohých krajín, v ďalších sa o ich zavedení uvažuje. Očakáva sa od nich zvýšenie
