As the population continues to age, employers may want to develop incentives to retain experienced workers. Among people who had not completely retired but were planning to retire, more than half (55.1%) reported that they would continue working longer if they could work part-time, and 48.9% reported that they would continue working if they could work fewer hours without affecting their pension.
