Is Preference for Working (a full time employee – Business strategy consultants) vs. Volunteering Gender-Specific?
A Canadian study was reported last October which found that among men and women in Vancouver there is a clear tendency for men to plan to work part-time after retirement, while women plan to volunteer. The study was The Couples Retirement Study conducted for Scotiabank. This was just one part of the study, but I am intrigued by the split between men and women in their preferences for working vs. volunteering after retirement.
Is the preference for working vs. volunteering after retirement so clearly gender-specific?
Tell us what you think. Do you plan to work or volunteer? Does your experience match the study?
