Information gathered by The National Study of the Changing Workforce, conducted by the Families and Work Institute, indicates that workers in the 55-64 age group - older workers who are often at a critical point in their lives for making decisions about retirement - are less likely than those over 65 years to feel that options for reducing their work hours are available to them.
