拟议的研究重点是婚姻之间的相互联系， 家庭，退休和收益的假设， 个人在工作和家庭领域的经历与 在整个生命过程中联系在一起，社会文化和时间 背景（即性别、种族、职业、婚姻状况、年龄） 这是一场关于退休经历的竞赛。 它解决了 以下研究问题：（1）婚姻关系如何 影响退休决定的因素有哪些？ 这些影响是否因 性别种族职业 (2)亲属关系和事件 影响退休决定？ 这些影响是否因性别，种族， 职业和婚姻状况 (3)退休如何影响 婚姻关系？ 这种影响是否因性别、职业和 年龄？ (4)退休如何影响亲属关系？ 做这样 影响因性别、种族、职业、婚姻状况和年龄而异？ 分析将基于第1和第2波的面板数据。 全国家庭和住户调查。 比例风险 模型将被用来评估夫妇和个人的预测因素， 劳动力退出（或自定义退休）。 LISREL模型和 逻辑回归将用于探索退休对 婚姻质量和亲属关系。 该项目克服了几个 过去研究的局限性：它依赖于一个大的，全国性的 代表性和纵向数据集;它使用二元方法， 包括配偶双方的特征和相关态度， 作为婚姻和家庭关系的特征;它审查了 退休决策和退休后预测因素的变化 按性别、种族、职业、婚姻状况、 地位和年龄。 它对婚姻也有实际意义， 退休准备顾问以及退休规划师 关注社会保障潜在影响的决策者 和养恤金资格规则以及提前退休奖励 关于婚姻和家庭的节目。 调查的进展 影响来自物理之间的既定关系， 健康、心理健康、婚姻质量以及亲属支持。

The proposed research focuses on interconnections between marriage, families, and retirement and proceeds from the assumption that individuals' experiences in the work and family spheres are closely linked throughout the life course, and that sociocultural and temporal context (i.e, gender, race, occupation, marital status, age) define the meaning contest of the retirement experience. It addresses the following research questions: (1) How do marital relationship characteristics affect retirement decisions? Do these effects differ by gender, race, occupation? (2) How do kin relationships and events affect retirement decisions? Do these effects vary by gender, race, occupation, and marital status? (3) How does retirement affect the marital relationship? Do such effects vary by gender, occupation, and age? (4) How does retirement affect kin relationships? Do such effects vary by gender, race, occupation, marital status, and age? Analyses will be based on panel data from waves 1 and 2 of the National Survey of Families and Households. Proportional hazard models will be used to assess predictors of couples' and individuals' labor force exits (or self-defined retirement). LISREL models and logistic regressions will be used to explore effects of retirement on marital quality and kin relationships. The project overcomes several limitations of past research: it relies on a large, nationally representative and longitudinal data set; it uses a dyadic approach and includes characteristics and relevant attitudes of both spouses as well as marital and family relationship characteristics; and it examines variations in the predictors of retirement dicisions and postretirement marital quality and kin contacts by gender, race, occupation, marital status, and age. It also has practical relevance for marriage and retirement preparation counselors as well as for retirement planners and policy makers concerned with potential impacts of Social Security and pension elegibility rules and of early retirement incentive programs on marriages and families. The investigation's health implications derive from the established relationships between physical health, mental health, and marital quality as well as kin supports.
