ABSTRACT

The present study examined the factors contributing the decision of older adults over the age of 55 to return to the labor market after the retirement. In this study, one hundred thirty two Korean American older adults and one hundred fifty eight African Americans were recruited and completed the self-administrated questionnaires. The findings were as follows. First, when only socio-demographic factors were considered in the analysis, the more older adults were young and highly educated, have high English language skills, have low household income and do not contribute to the household income and value the meaning of work in their lives, they were more likely to participate in the Program. When the remaining contributing factors were added into the analysis, older adults were more likely to take part into the program if they tend to be younger, have more education, have more fluency in English, less contribute to the family income, and more value the work in their lives.
