Using the concept of retirement congruency (RC), which takes into account greater variation in retirement decisions (low, moderate, or high RC) than a dichotomous conceptualization (forced versus chosen), multinomial logistic regression was conducted on a sample of caregivers from the 2002 Canadian General Social Survey who were retired from employment (n=700). Different variables increased the risk of having low and moderate RC, when both were compared to high RC. Factors predicting low RC (versus moderate RC), were similar but not identical to those predicting low RC (versus high RC). Retiring for health reasons and job problems were significant in all three comparisons. Retiring to give care only increased the probability of having moderate RC, compared to high RC, indicating that many employed caregivers who voluntarily retired because ofcaregiving responsibilities still expressed a desire to have remained in the labor force. Results raise questions about which policy domain-income security or labor-is most appropriate within this context.
运用退休一致性（RC）的概念，该概念考虑到退休决策中比二分法概念化（被迫与自主选择）更大的差异（低、中或高RC），对2002年加拿大综合社会调查中已退休的照顾者样本（n = 700）进行了多项逻辑回归分析。与高RC相比，不同变量增加了低RC和中RC的风险。预测低RC（与中RC相比）的因素与预测低RC（与高RC相比）的因素相似但不完全相同。在所有三项比较中，因健康原因退休和工作问题都很显著。与高RC相比，为了照顾而退休仅增加了中RC的可能性，这表明许多因照顾责任而自愿退休的在职照顾者仍表示希望继续留在劳动力队伍中。结果引发了关于在此背景下哪个政策领域——收入保障还是劳动力——最合适的问题。
