Abstract
ABSTRACT This systematic literature review aimed to synthesise the studies conducted between 2008 and 2018 on the different influencing factors of post-retirement work. We followed the methodological suggestions proposed by [Petticrew, M., & Roberts, H. (2006). Systematic reviews in the social sciences: A practical guide. John Wiley & Sons] for the development of a systematic review in the Social Sciences. Seven electronic databases were searched and a total of 32 studies were included. We differentiated between the following categories of influencing factors of post-retirement work: Socio-demographic, implicit, work-related, and life-related factors. On the one hand, our results revealed that studies on the socio-demographic and life-related factors presented inconsistent, inconclusive, or limited levels of evidence on how they influence post-retirement work across countries. On the other hand, the implicit and work-related factors showed more consistent levels of evidence regarding their influencing effects. Thus, this study provides further insight into which multidimensional factors are most likely to increase older workers’ willingness towards engaging in post-retirement work.
