Early retirement driven by job dissatisfaction and policy changes
The Dominion-News series opens with Bert, aged 51, retiring early and reflects national trends. Data from Northwestern National Life Insurance Co and Social Security officials show 45 to 64 year olds retiring before 65 rising 70 percent in a decade, with 2.4 million retirees in 1971 versus 1.4 million in 1960. Reasons include job cutbacks, desire to enjoy life, and income adequacy. Interviews with Gail Cunningham and W.G. Ward illustrate personal shifts to retirement, new part time work, and reduced Civil Service benefits for early retirees.
