Notes

1.We will use the terms “working” and “employed” interchangeably. Both terms include the self-employed.

2.The RAND HRS Longitudinal File is an easy-to-use dataset based on the HRS core data. This file was developed at RAND with funding from the National Institute on Aging and the Social Security Administration.

3.P70 was added to HRS in 2012 so the follow-up is not yet long enough to compare expectations to subsequent actual work status for P70.

4.Because the HRS did not ask about any work after age 62, we use P62, the subjective probability of full-time work to anchor at age 62.

5.The fraction of the older population with a college degree increased substantially between 1992 and 2016, which may have contributed to this change. However, when we classified by education quartiles, rather than by degree of education, the decline remained large: 11 percentage points.
