Abstract
Retirement is a fact which ends working life virtually; nevertheless, people may tend to pursue an economic activity after retirement. This paper examines leading causes of working after retirement in Turkey. A random sample of retired and older people was selected from 54 provinces of Turkey. In this study, it is intended to determine the relationship between retired people’s perceptions of quality of life and their reemployment status. Moreover, possible effects of intention to work on quality of life were tested. “Quality of Life Assessment Tool” and “Quality of Life Module for Older People” developed by World Health Organisation and a supplementary question form developed by the project team respectively are conducted in all regions of Turkey, resulting with 2914 usable forms. With national level analyses, retirement status, reemployment, its antecedents and relationship with quality of life were examined. Results show that there are many connections between Quality of Life domains and working after retirement. © 2013 European Journal of Research on Education by IASSR.
