Abstract

This paper presents theories and perspectives relevant to aging and retirement in four categories (1) theories focused on individual reactions to the circumstances of aging; (2) theories focused on structural influences on individual aging; (3) theories relevant to the dynamics of interplay between individuals and structure; and, (4) supplementary theories/perspectives helpful to the understanding of minority aging and retirement.
