title: [Dutch study of the older employee and retirement: an overview].
abstract: This article reviews the Dutch research on older workers and retirement, which has been done between 1974 and 1979 and is reported in the Register van Sociaal-Gerontologisch Onderzoek, deel III, 1974-1979. Described is research on older workers, early retirement and pre-retirement courses. It is concluded that research should also be directed towards the still healthy older worker, in order to take preventive measures; that for the enlargement of the possibilities of voluntary, early retirement the financial problems should first be solved and, finally, that evaluation research has to be done on the influence of pre-retirement courses on the adjustment to retirement. Some research problems are mentioned.
