Although there has been speculation about gender differences in retirement decisions, research directly on the issue has been sparse, and results have been inconsistent. This study, which examined hypotheses based on traditional gender roles, is one of the few to examine the interactions between retirement predictors and gender. In a random sample of older employees and retirees from a large midwestern manufacturing organization, retirement decisions differed between men and women primarily when dependents lived in the household, when the health of one's spouse was a consideration, and when one's spouse was retired. These differences appeared to be partially dependent on the operational definition of retirement.
尽管一直有人猜测退休决策中的性别差异，但直接针对该问题的研究却很少，而且结果也不一致。这项基于传统性别角色检验假设的研究，是为数不多的考察退休预测因素与性别之间相互作用的研究之一。在一个来自中西部大型制造企业的老年员工和退休人员的随机样本中，男性和女性的退休决策主要在以下情况下存在差异：家中有受抚养人、配偶的健康状况是一个考虑因素以及配偶已退休。这些差异似乎部分取决于退休的操作定义。
