Retirement intentions among black professionals: implications for practice with older black adults

V Richardson and KM Kilty
College of Social Work, Ohio State University, Columbus 43210.

This study examined the preretirement intentions of black professionals. The sample consisted of 234 blacks and was stratified by gender, age, and professional status. Based on a model developed for predicting the retirement intentions and attitudes of a sample of white professionals, six categories of independent variables (sociocultural, work history, alienation, leisure and social activities, financial planning, and plans for retirement life) were included in the analysis. Professionals who were highly committed to their work, had few financial investments, and socialized primarily with co-workers tended to avoid planning for retirement. These results have important implications for practitioners concerned with more effectively meeting the preretirement and retirement needs of older black adults.
