Many people await the renovation, but a new study has revealed that continuing to work full time seems to bring emotional stability again – especially in men.
People are renovating later and later.
As it recalls, a report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) found that 28.9% of people from 65 to 69 were still working in 2023 – above 15.9% in 2000.
However, the impact of this on people’s happiness is still little understood.
Of the Israeli researchers decided to explore data from social inquiries collected by the Central Statistics Office of Israel and compared the experiences of over 3300 women and just over 2000 men who had reached their respective renovation ages of 62 and 67 years.
In a new study, recently in the Journal of Happiness Studiesthe team revealed that People who, after the renovation, continued to work all the time lived happier – especially men.
These cases in particular evaluated their economic, family, emotional and general satisfaction with life as the same or even higher than those who did not work at all, Regardless of the type of work that they did.
In turn, the women had fewer improvements in satisfaction familiar and economic. Researchers theorize that this could explain themselves that women could achieve a sense of purpose and accomplishment in other aspects of life.
“Women may have other sources of emotional support or social involvement, so they don’t get it from work, they get it from another place, ”he explained to New Scientist, Alisa Lewinat the University of Haifa.
“Men, even now, still realize their role as taking care of the family and achieving success at work – and this does not simply stop at 65 [a idade a que as pessoas costumavam ser forçadas a reformar-se no Reino Unido]”He told the same magazine, Cary Cooperat the University of Manchester, which was not involved in the study.
