| Subject: Men nearing retirement 'happier than women' Thu Dec 03, 2009 2:47 am | |
| People approaching retirement age find their work becomes more enjoyable, research has suggested, but the effect is greater amongst men than women.
Psychologists at Qowl , a private firm linked to the University of Portsmouth analysed the quality of working life of more than 5000 college employees.
Previous studies had found that women workers were happier than men.
However, the study shows that this difference narrows with age, and the trend reverses around the age of 60.
At this age men seem to experience a notable increase in the quality of working life, the researchers said.
