A total of 32 interviews were conducted with women in academia who were born between 1946 and 1964. Twenty-one of these interviews were completed with academic women in the United States. and eleven with academic women in New Zealand. The data were analyzed to determine what these "baby boomers" anticipate for their retirement as well as their concerns about facing retirement. Cohort and cross-cultural comparisons were made. The authors identified common themes in the interviews. These included rejection of the traditional definition of retirement, anticipated age at retirement determined by personal needs rather than age-graded societal norms, retirement projected to be an active period involving a mix of work and leisure activities, and major concerns, about health and health care, the availability of entitlements and finances. The findings from this study indicate baby boomers are forging a new path for retirement. Further research investigating the transition for women of the baby boom generation from worker to retiree may open windows into the future of retirement for women.
我们对1946年至1964年出生的学术界女性进行了共计32次访谈。其中21次访谈是与美国的学术女性完成的，11次是与新西兰的学术女性完成的。对数据进行了分析，以确定这些“婴儿潮一代”对退休的预期以及她们对面临退休的担忧。进行了队列和跨文化比较。作者们在访谈中确定了共同主题。这些主题包括拒绝传统的退休定义、由个人需求而非年龄分级的社会规范决定的预期退休年龄、预计退休将是一个积极的时期，包括工作和休闲活动的混合，以及对健康和医疗保健、福利和财务状况的主要担忧。这项研究的结果表明，婴儿潮一代正在为退休开辟一条新道路。进一步研究婴儿潮一代女性从工作者到退休者的转变，可能会为女性退休的未来打开一扇窗。
