    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Economics
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Retirement planning is crucial for older workers.
    • Access to retirement preparation programs is understudied.
    • Socioeconomic disparities in program access are a concern.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the participation rate in retirement preparation programs among older workers.
    • To identify socioeconomic factors influencing access to these programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Older Men (1981).
    • Logistic multiple regression was used to assess predictors of participation and opportunity.

    Main Results:

    • Less than 4% of men aged 60-74 in 1981 participated in retirement preparation programs.
    • Higher education, occupational status, government employment, and private pension coverage correlated with greater program access.
    • Significant socioeconomic differentials in access were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Exposure to retirement preparation programs is very low among older men.
    • Workers who could benefit most, such as low-status and low-income individuals, have the least access.
    • Addressing these disparities is essential for equitable retirement security.
