Pew Research Center: “Among the 77% of the currently employed (and not retired) public who say they expect to do some kind of work for pay after they retire, there are no significant differences by age, income, gender, race, ethnicity, education or region. In short, this has now become a widely-held expectation among virtually all kinds of people. It doesn’t matter if a person is self-employed or not; if a person works for a big organization or a small one; if a person derives a strong sense of identity from work or not; all are equally likely to say they expect to work for pay after they retire.”
