According to a 2006 Urban Institute report, "close to 50 percent of workers age 60-64 either want to stop working or change their current work, compared with 30 percent of workers 65-69 and only 15 percent of workers age 70 and older." (p.3)

"This Perspective offers additional insight into work at older ages. Data from the 2002 Health and Retirement Study (HRS)1 are used to examine job characteristics and attitudes about work among adults age 60 and older and to explore whether richer and poorer workers differ. Findings include substantial increases in the number of working adults who report being self-employed as age increases." (p.1)
