abstract = {Many workers reveal a preference for a gradual reduction in work hours as they approach
retirement (?phased retirement?), rather than a sudden change from full-time work to full-time
retirement. Pension regulations may impede phased retirement without a switch of employers
by prohibiting access to pension assets. This study uses Health and Retirement Survey data
to investigate the extent to which a gradual reduction in work hours is made difficult by
pensions, particularly defined benefit plans. The study also explores other possible
impediments to phased retirement.},
