The Retirement History Longitudinal Study (RHLS) is a 10-year study of the retirement process and the effects of retirement. The study's purpose is to assess the Social Security program's provisions for retired workers, not only for recording the socioeconomic situation of Social Security beneficiaries, but also to aid policy makers in planning program improvements. Conducted by the Census Bureau in cooperation with the Office of Research and Statistics of the Social Security Administration, the study is a valuable supplement to over 40 years of continuous evaluative research accompanying the evolving Social Security program for Americans.

Unlike previous Social Security Administration surveys which gave prime attention to older, already retired Americans, the RHLS study is the first longitudinal study to concentrate on the process of retirement and to include change over a period of time as an object of study. Earlier studies have shown increasing rates of early retirement - before the age of 65 - have reduced Social Security benefits.

In 1963, a national sample of all Americans age 62 and over, including beneficiaries and nonbeneficiaries, were interviewed. Large proportions of the early retirees among them were found living in poor financial situations. The proportion of Social Security beneficiaries whose benefits have been reduced because of retirement before age 65 is increasing. Analysis of Social Security records and data from a mail survey of newly entitled beneficiaries have suggested strongly that both retirement timing and the quality of retirement living are fundamentally affected by the character of the years immediately before retirement. It is the aim of the Retirement History Study, by spanning a 10-year observation period, to learn in detail the connections between worklife characteristics, retirement timing, and the determinants of style, quality, and conduct of retirement.

The Retirement History Survey consists of a single sample of older workers within a 6-year birth cohort - Americans born between 1905 and 1911. It was necessary to sample workers in all occupations, in all 50 states. The study was designed to collect information in a broad range of areas from the same persons at several points in time, both pre- and post-retirement. In 1969, the first year in which data were collected, the respondents were 58 to 63 years of age and predominantly pre-retirees. The same respondents are reinterviewed every 2 years for a period of 10 years, at the end of which time they are 68 to 73 years old and mainly retirees. They are questioned about their labor-force history; attitudes toward, expectations for, and plans concerning retirement; health; family and social activities; and income, assets, and debts.

The target population for RHLS includes men of all marital status categories and women who at the time their households were last included in the Current Population Survey (CPS) had no husband in the household. All potential correspondents were 58 to 63 years of age as of March 1, 1969. Married women in the specified age range were excluded because they were found in early pretests to have no independent retirement plans. Institutionalized persons were also excluded from the original sample. Blacks are included proportionally to their representation in the population.

The original sample was a multi-stage area probability sample drawn from the sample used by the Bureau of the Census for the Current Population Survey (CPS sample design is detailed in U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1963). LRHS sample members are persons who met the age-sex-marital status requirements described above and who lived in households that had last participated in CPS between August, 1967 and February, 1969. In any month, the CPS sample consists of eight rotation groups of households selected up to 18 months previously. The "oldest" rotation group is dropped and replaced each month. To obtain a sample size for LRHS of approximately 13,000 persons, 19 of the recently discontinued groups were used.

The sample size was chosen in expectation of attrition because of death, failure to relocate respondents, respondent refusal to be reinterviewed, and other like reasons. It was assumed that the life-table survivorship factors for 1959-71 would continue for each age-sex group. Further, it was assumed that up to 5 percent of the surviving sample members in a given survey year would not be interviewed in each of the succeeding survey years for such reasons as refusal and absence. Given both these factors, it was estimated that over a 10-year period, the numbers of married couples would be diminished by 50 percent, of nonmarried men by 40 percent, and of nonmarried women by 30 percent. This estimate includes the reclassification into "nonmarried" categories of the surviving partners where a death occurs during the conduct of the study.

In 1969, 12,549 persons were eligible for interview, and of these, 11,153 furnished complete schedules. Interviews were conducted biennially through 1979 (when sample members reached 68 through 73 years of age).

The data collection and data processing for the Retirement History Study were carried out by the Bureau of the Census. Approximately 600 interviewers, most of whom regularly interviewed for the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey, were specially trained to conduct the RHLS interview. A maximum response rate was obtained by employing a number of procedures to locate and interview all persons selected for the sample. No limit was placed on the number of callbacks within the interviewing period (March 1 - July 1).

The initial RHLS 1969 interview schedule, designed by the Social Security Administration to yield a wide range of information about the pre-retirement lives and attitudes of the sample members, is divided into six sections: (1) respondent's labor-force history; (2) retirement and retirement plans; (3) health; (4) household, family, and social activities; (5) income, assets, and debts for respondent, spouse, and children under age 18, and (6) spouse's labor force history. No proxy respondents (spouse's of respondents) were allowed to answer the first five sections in place of the designated sample member. The last section, with the exception of a few attitudinal items, could be answered by the designated sample member if his or her spouse were not available or unable to answer the questions at the time of the interview.

A detailed picture of current work life is being obtained, covering the kind of work a respondent does, the number of hours he works, salary, unemployment and job-seeking behavior, and attitude toward his job. Similar information is obtained on the immediately previous job and the job which was held longest.

In this first base-line inquiry, concentrated efforts have been made to learn what retirement plans, if any, are made by 58- to 63-year-olds. Respondents are asked whether and when they expect to retire, what their reasons are, and whether they have done any retirement planning. Questions cover plans to move, plans to work after retirement, expected expenses and expected resources, and subjective attitudes toward retirement. Persons who describe themselves as already completely or partly retired are asked to report retrospectively on age at retirement, reasons, and whether or not retirement was planned. A number of subjective items are included as morale indicators.

Recall questions cover health experience for the calendar year preceding this first interview, including receipts and costs of treatment by physicians and dentists, incidents of hospitalization, drug prescriptions, non-prescription medicines, and other medical supplies and services. Health insurance coverage and other resources for payment of medical expenses are inquired about. A subjective measure of physical disability is included, the same as that used to screen for disabled for the SSA's 1966 Survey of the Disabled (Haber, 1967,1968). In addition, the respondent is asked to compare his health with that of others his age.

Proximity, numbers, and frequency of contact with close relatives are covered, as are receipt of financial support from, or contributions to, these relatives. Information on selected consumption items is sought with the hope that the data will yield direct indicators of changes in level of living. Food and housing expenses, transportation, gifts, and selected recreational items are covered.

As in SSA's cross-section Surveys of the Aged, there is a relatively thorough listing and description of the sources and size of income and assets and an accounting of debts.

With the 1969 data as a baseline, subsequent biennial surveys record the retirement process as it develops. Early analysis and reports focus on retirement patterns and determinants of retirement timing, especially the relationship between pre-retirement income and expected post-retirement income. The influence exerted by health, anticipated post-retirement needs and resources, employer policies, and significant work history is examined. As sample members retire, time-dimensioned data is accrued in several areas to compare with the impressionistic or cross-sectional data available in the earliar survey results. The extent to which mobility is related to aging and retirement, and changes in consumption practices and in activity patterns are observed. The accessibility of close relatives is studied throughout the 10 years of the project as well as the extent of older people's work life and various combinations of work and retirement. Morale and its sources are studied throughout the entire observation period.

In RHLS each sample case was weighted so that the survey could closely estimate the actual numbers for specific categories of persons in the nation as a whole. The weighting procedure for the RHLS survey was a multi-stage ratio estimate involving five steps.

(1) Base weight - the first step was the assignment to each sample case of a base weight (492.63), obtained by multiplying the weight factor for CPS rotation groups of August, 1967-February, 1969 (1,170) by the ratio of the number of CPS rotation groups to RHS rotation groups (8/19).

(2) Subsample adjustment - certain special dwelling units such as large apartment buildings and residence hotels are subsampled in the field at different rates. Special weights were applied to these subsamples to adjust for the different sampling rates.

(3) First-stage ratio estimate - the distribution of the population represented by the sample as a whole in such characteristics as region, residence (urban or rural), race, age, sex, and marital status. Estimates of the population in these various categories can be substantially improved when weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these population characteristics.

The purpose of the first-stage ratio estimate is to reduce the contribution to the variance arising from the sampling of primary sampling units (PSUs). The estimate takes into account the differences between the non-self-representing PSUs (units chosen without certainty) in the retirement history sample and all non-self-representing PSUs at the time of the 1960 Census in the distribution by race, residence, and region.

(4) Second-stage ratio estimate - (distribution of population adjustment.) The second-stage estimate uses the best available estimates from the Bureau of the Census of the target population as of March 1, 1969, to adjust the LRHS population estimates of persons in certain categories. Adjustments were made for each 2-year age group by sex and race.

(5) Noninterview adjustment - seperate adjustments were made for noninterviewed sample members in each independent category defined by simultaneously classifying by race, sex, marital status, 2-year age group, and geographic region. Records in each of the 72 categories thus formed were adjusted by a factor computed by the formula: number of cases interviewed in that category + number of cases not interviewed in that category, all divided by number of cases interviewed in that category.

The 11,153 respondents in the first wave of LRHS represent approximately 6,800,000 persons between the ages of 58 and 63 in 1969: 4,117,000 married men, 729,000 nonmarried men and 1,954,000 nonmarried women. (Forty-eight women who were not married at the time of their selection for the LRHS sample were married at the time of their first interview. Their interviews were excluded from the 1969 tabulations, but their retention as sample members brings the total to 11,153.).

The average weight is 612.74, with a standard deviation of 121.42. The minimum weight is 443.28; the maximum is 2,760.71.

• Number of cases: 10169

• No. of variables per record: 1535

• Extent of Processing Checks:

  The data collection was processed according to the standard ICPSR processing procedures. The data were checked for illegal or inconsistent code values which, when found, were mostly recoded to missing data values. It was not always advisable, however, to follow skip patterns fully. If, for example, a derived response (such as variable 353) fell under a skip pattern, it might be set to zero, rather than "INAP." to allow its use in subsequent calcula- tions.
