A study evaluating the relationship between health, work environment, and retirement-related job lock finds that "86% of respondents over the age of 55 [who experienced a workplace injury] felt as though they could still keep up with their work and that their health would not prevent them from working." (p. 10)

Katy, L. B., Pransky, G., & Savageau, J. A. (n.d.) Factors associated with retirement-related job lock in older workers with recent occupational injury [unpublished manuscript]

"Workers completed a mailed, self-report survey about their pre- and post-injury health and functioning, work environment, and retirement plans.  Bivariate and multivariate analyses determined those factors associated with retirement-related job lock. A total of 1,524 (51%) questionnaires were returned.  Overall response rate, excluding those who could not be contacted or were found to be ineligible for the study, was 53%."
