摘要

A solution to anticipated worker shortages in advanced economies is to entice older workers to stay in or re-enter the workforce. This study uses General Social Survey data to explore what contributes to job satisfaction for older workers and if there are differences among those who are approaching retirement age (55–64) and those who continue to work beyond the traditional retirement age (65–80). Our results indicate that there are differences between the two age cohorts, as well as differences by occupation category and gender. These outcomes may inform firms about what they might do to retain or hire older workers.
