Devising a preparation for retirement course

Abstract

Preparation for retirement is a growth industry. Through the pioneering work of enlightened employers, the national activities of the Pre‐Retirement Association and the 25 local Preparation for Retirement Organisations, there is now widespread recognition that the transition from full‐time work to full‐time leisure involves a fundamental change in the pattern of living. Coleman ranks retirement ninth in a list of stress‐causing events, ranging in order of severity from the death of one's spouse to going on holiday. There is good evidence that preparation for retirement courses results in stress education.
