Temporal changes in the aggregate distribution of workers' planned ages for retirement can indicate broad shifts in workers' regard of retirement that anticipate future retirement practices. This study compared distributions of planned retirement ages across four measurement times between 1975 and 1984 for groups of approximately 1000 men aged 47-64 at each survey. Results showed two temporal patterns. First, plans were altered somewhat toward late ages between 1975 and 1978, although this upward redistribution of planned ages did not alter the total proportion planning to retire prior to age 65. Second, distributions were stable from 1978 to 1981 to 1984.
