Studies of older workers' readiness to retire have reported a growing trend toward plans or expectations for earlier retirement. At the same time, other studies have shown that as workers age they prefer progressively later ages for retirement. To clarify the relationship between planned and preferred age for retirement, concurrent trends in the two measures for a single sample of male workers were compared. At two sampling times 10 years apart, a panel of 912 workers (aged 45 to 74 at T2) was asked at what age they planned to retire and at what age they preferred to retire. The pattern of joint change in these two measures showed a dynamic relationship between them. Even though panel members generally preferred to retire sooner than they planned to, preferences were revised (toward later ages) over time and tended to converge with the planned age for withdrawal from work.
关于老年员工退休意愿的研究报告显示，提前退休的计划或预期呈增长趋势。与此同时，其他研究表明，随着员工年龄增长，他们倾向于选择越来越晚的退休年龄。为了厘清计划退休年龄与偏好退休年龄之间的关系，对单一男性员工样本的这两项指标的同期趋势进行了比较。在相隔10年的两个抽样时间点，对一组912名员工（在T2时年龄为45至74岁）询问了他们计划退休的年龄以及他们偏好退休的年龄。这两项指标的共同变化模式显示出它们之间的动态关系。尽管小组成员通常希望比计划更早退休，但随着时间推移，偏好发生了调整（趋向于更晚的年龄），并且趋于与计划的工作退出年龄一致。
