Using data from the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS) of Older Men, this study examined the extent and character of the work experience of men who opt to continue labor force participation well beyond conventional retirement age. Logistic regression results showed that good health, a strong psychological commitment to work, and a corresponding distaste for retirement are among the most important characteristics related to continued employment into old age. The probability of employment was also found to be positively related to educational attainment and being married to a working wife; it was negatively related to age and level of income in the absence of work. Of the men in the sample who were not working, very few gave evidence of a desire to do so. Policy implications of the findings are explored.
本研究利用老年男性全国纵向调查（NLS）的数据，考察了选择在远超传统退休年龄后仍继续劳动力参与的男性的工作经历范围及特点。逻辑回归结果表明，健康状况良好、对工作有强烈的心理认同感以及相应地对退休的厌恶，是与老年继续就业相关的最重要特征。就业概率还被发现与教育程度以及妻子有工作呈正相关；与年龄以及无工作时的收入水平呈负相关。在样本中未工作的男性中，很少有人表现出工作的意愿。本文探讨了这些研究结果的政策含义。
