Abstract

In this study, Israeli parent, grandparent and marital role activities after retirement were compared with the retrospective evaluation of pre-retirement period. Data collected from 310 former industrial and service workers were examined within the context of family functioning after retirement. The findings reveal either an increase in or continuity of the family role activities under study, on the part of the retiree. There was no decline in involvement in parenthood and/or marital functioning.
