Trends in retirement for U.S. workers are examined by sex for the period 1950-2005. The authors conclude that age at final retirement has fallen by between 4 and 5 years for both men and women since mid-century; continued declines are projected for the 1990s accelerating for the period 2000-05. Data are from the Social Security Administrations annual records and from the monthly Current Population Survey. (EXCERPT)
