A 2007 analysis of Health and Retirement Survey data showed that among "employed adults born between 1931 and 1941, availability of time flexibility is far from universal. Thirty-four percent of single men and women reported that they could reduce their hours on the job. However, only 11 percent of married couples report that both spouses had access to this type of policy. An additional 41 percent of dual-earner couples said that only one spouse could reduce their hours." (fig. 3, p. 7)

"This Brief both describes volunteering behavior among older adults, compared to volunteering behavior among the adult population as a whole, and considers the possibilities for workplace policies to encourage or discourage volunteering in this subset of the population." (p. 1)
