Abstract

In this paper, we use the SHARE (Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe) Wave 6 dataset to look into the socio-demographic, health, well-being, financial and work- -related predictors of intended early retirement in Croatia. We estimate logit regression models. Based on our research, early retirement seems to be more appealing to people who work in the private sector, who have poor quality of life, who are less educated, or report poor health status. Amending the pension system in terms of making early retirement a less attractive choice is not enough. Many Croatian employees would be ready to work longer if they had better jobs, education, and health. These are the policy areas where Croatia needs large improvements.
