The aim of this article was to analyse the effect of work-retirement transitions on post-retirement mental health in individuals with different working conditions in late working life.

Educational Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module practitioners should have a clear understanding of the following facts:

  1. The generosity of social protections schemes has a significant positive relation to post-retirement mental health

  2. Individuals with adverse working conditions at the end of their working lives are likely to benefit (from a mental health perspective) from generous early exit pathways
