Cechy pracy a skłonność Polaków w wieku 50+ do rezygnacji z aktywności zawodowej

This paper considers relations between the assessment of work characteristics and the tendency of Poles aged 50+ to transit from employment into retirement. Using the results from two surveys carried out under the SHARE project, the hypothesis was verified that there are associations between the evaluation of current work features and the inclination to retire as soon as possible. The direction and strength of the relationships between the opinions expressed by respondents were evaluated by measures adequate for categorical variables. The analysis was supported by visualizations of fourfold contingency tables. The study indicates that there are statistically significant relations between the perception of some work characteristics and the tendency of Poles to quit the labor market, but the strength of these associations is rather weak. The obtained result suggests that the substantial determinants of willingness to retirement are probably different in nature.
