The shifting boundary between work and retirement and the always-emergent features of retirement practice create a wide opportunity for scholarship and research. After an overview of the scope of retirement research, this article articulates 4 areas that deserve special attention in the present historical circumstance: studies of the form and timing of retirement exits, the labor market for older workers, the quality of pensions, and the experience of retired life. The field should be wary of prescribing regimes of behavior for late careers and retirement that many people are unsuited to fulfill.
工作和退休之间界限的不断变化以及退休实践中不断出现的新特征，为学术研究提供了广泛的机会。本文概述了退休研究的范围，阐述了在当前历史环境下值得特别关注的 4 个领域：退休退出的形式和时间研究、老年工人的劳动力市场、养老金的质量以及退休生活的体验。该领域应该警惕为许多人不适合履行的职业生涯和退休后生活制定行为规范。
