"Retirement is the institutionalised separation of an individual from his or her occupational position usually on the basis of age. As a complex problem, ‘Retirement’ tends to focus upon the social and related losses involved in retiring including loss of income, status, identity or supporting networks within a familiar work setting. The Retirement studies are marked by either exclusion of the women or give inadequate coverage to women. Thus, the extent to which retirement affects the socio-psychological well being of women has remained largely a matter of conjecture. It needs to be seen whether retirement has the same psycho-social effects on women as in the case of men and whether retirement or continued employment has any non-economic significance at all for women. The present study is concentrated on problems of women retirees. Introduction; work orientation towards retirement; family life; economic conditions; health conditions; socio-psychological conditions of retirees; and summary and conclusion are the chapters under which the whole problem is categorically studied. This work will be helpful in exploring an area which has so far remained unresearched".
