How do older workers anticipate their transition to retirement? This question will be addressed based on recent data from the representative German lidA-Study. The focus of the presentation lies on nursing.
In Germany, most older workers want to leave employment much earlier than legal retirement age. The dominant reasons given indicate the wish for a self-determined life. Poor work and health problems rank 4th and 5th. Nurses would like to exit earlier than other professional groups with a stronger impact of poor work and health problems. Yet, this profession also exhibits resources. A new concept will be presented to promote longer working of older nurses in hospitals in Germany.
