Retirement is a psycho social process. It refers to the phase of life when a person leaves his job and withdraws from active working life. Proper optimization of retirement is only possible when a person has pre planned his life with proper finances and saving or the government is providing him with a lot of social security benefits. However, such conditions rarely occur as a person is preoccupied in his pre retirement phases. But proper optimization of retirement can also take place when a person has high social intelligence which affects physical and mental health. Hence, this paper is an endeavor to look into the relevance of social intelligence which helps the people in their retirement process in the people. Thus, a survey was done to find the level of Social Intelligence in the people who are ageing and are going to be retired soon. Around 252 people between 55 to 70 years were studied from Delhi and NCR. The result indicated that middle aged and just retired people had high social intelligence as compared to older adults and the former were also able to optimize their retirement effectively for successful ageing. The older adults were not able to cope up with the various issues of retirement due to low social intelligence. Hence, further studies can be carried out to design proper training for enhancement of social intelligence in aged people for their effective optimization of retirement.
退休是一个社会心理过程。它指的是一个人离开工作岗位并退出积极工作生活的人生阶段。只有当一个人通过合理的财务规划和储蓄预先规划好了自己的生活，或者政府为其提供大量社会保障福利时，退休才能得到恰当的优化。然而，由于一个人在退休前阶段忙于工作，这种情况很少发生。但是，当一个人具有较高的社会智力，而这又会影响身心健康时，退休也能得到恰当的优化。因此，本文致力于探讨社会智力的相关性，它有助于人们在退休过程中更好地应对。于是，我们进行了一项调查，以了解即将步入老年并即将退休的人群的社会智力水平。我们从德里和国家首都辖区研究了大约252名年龄在55至70岁之间的人。结果表明，与老年人相比，中年人和刚退休的人具有较高的社会智力，并且前者也能够有效地优化他们的退休生活以实现成功老龄化。由于社会智力较低，老年人无法应对退休带来的各种问题。因此，可以开展进一步的研究，设计适当的培训来提高老年人的社会智力，以便他们有效地优化退休生活。
