Social Work Faculty in Retirement: A National Study

Abstract

Abstract This article reports a study that explored the retirement experiences of a national sample of retired social work educators. A total of 267 educators responded to a mailed questionnaire that addressed five areas: (1) general characteristics of the subjects, (2) their preretirement experiences, (3) their postretirement experiences, (4) current social and health status, and (5) their perspectives on changes in social work education and practice. The sample was found to be relatively young, healthy, moderately professionally active, financially secure, and relatively satisfied with their retirement experiences. Critical differences were found on the five variables by gender, terminal degree, and institutional affiliation.
