Notes:aAge of retirement combines information from three sources: (1) actual retirement age reported by retirees; (2) observed retirement age if respondent retires while in the sample; (3) expected retirement age if neither reported nor observed retirement age is available. bRetirement ages below 50 or above 70 are set to missing; less than 1% of observations are dropped this way. 95% confidence intervals based on robust standard errors in parentheses.
