Employers Perspectives on Delayed Retirement: Employment Policies, Benefit Plans, and Retirement Decisions

This project will explore the current policies of large companies with regard to employees working beyond traditional retirement ages. Very little is known about the incidence of phased retirement, re-employment of retirees, and other policies that enable individuals to work longer in modified employment conditions. Outcomes from the research will include new information on the incidence of phased retirement policies and return to work programs of large firms, and an assessment of how such policies affect employment opportunities of older workers.
