This entry focuses specifically on summary or review publications published since 1990, with the exception of one early article on retirement and work that provides a useful historical perspective. Retirement has changed since its beginning and will continue to evolve because individuals, organizations, and governments are all significantly impacted by the retirement process. It is clear from the papers reviewed that the domains of aging, family, work, leisure, and retirement are notably intertwined. Researchers must therefore evaluate these interrelated domains in order to understand the retirement process, its antecedents, and its consequences.
