Retirement is a major life-course transition for which some people plan more than others. Given that planning positively affects retirement adjustment, it is important to investigate the heterogeneity in retirement planning and its antecedents. While financial preparation has been thoroughly investigated, little is known about the activities older workers plan to do in retirement. We hypothesize that older workers' plans for retirement activities can be categorized into 3 domains: bridge employment, self-developmental leisure, and social leisure. Moreover, we expect these plans to be affected by workers' opportunities for continuity, spousal support, and perception of time. We test these hypotheses using data from the first wave of the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute Pension Panel Study (NPPS). The study consists of a sample of almost 6,800 Dutch older workers who were asked about their plans to engage in 10 different activities in retirement. Where relevant, spouses of older workers were also surveyed, providing multiactor data for these couples (N = 4,052). Our results support the classification of retirement activity plans into 3 domains. Moreover, the results of structural equation models confirm that the activities for which older workers plan are related to their opportunity structure (i.e., occupational status, number of preretirement leisure activities, number of social roles), spousal support to engage in these activities, and older workers' perception of time (i.e., future time perspective, perceived life expectancy). Our findings can help identify older workers who might face a more difficult retirement transition, because they have fewer plans to address the various psychosocial aspects of retirement.

退休是人生的重大转折，有些人对此比其他人计划得更多。由于规划对退休后的适应有积极影响，因此研究退休规划的异质性及其前因非常重要。虽然已经对财务准备进行了深入研究，但对于老年人在退休后计划从事的活动却知之甚少。我们假设，老年人的退休活动计划可以分为 3 个领域：过渡性工作、自我发展休闲和社会休闲。此外，我们预计这些计划会受到工人的连续性机会、配偶支持和时间观念的影响。我们使用荷兰跨学科人口研究所养老金小组研究（NPPS）的第一波数据来检验这些假设。该研究包括近 6800 名荷兰老年工人的样本，他们被问到在退休后从事 10 种不同活动的计划。在相关情况下，老年工人的配偶也接受了调查，为这些夫妇提供了多主体数据（N=4052）。我们的研究结果支持将退休活动计划分为 3 个领域的分类。此外，结构方程模型的结果证实，老年人计划从事的活动与其机会结构（即职业地位、退休前休闲活动数量、社会角色数量）、配偶支持从事这些活动以及老年人对时间的感知（即未来时间视角、预期寿命）有关。我们的研究结果可以帮助识别那些可能面临更困难退休过渡的老年工人，因为他们在解决退休后各种心理社会方面的问题上计划较少。（APA，所有权利保留）。
