摘要:In this essay we have carried out a critical tour on the current situation of the population that is approaching retirement, attending to the main actors in this process: individuals, organization and government. For each one, the aspects that are established as most influential in the transition to this new stage in relation to the existing measures in the retirement process have been analyzed. While the existing literature on this phenomenon has shed light on some issues, there is a need for greater involvement of individuals, organisations and government in the transition to retirement. For the moment, both business initiatives, administrative and/or academic studies, are far from the demands (practices) required by the last stage of active working life. The reflections derived from this essay allow us to propose future lines of research that improve the transition to retirement.
