Abstract
Using the Retirement History Study (RHS), respondents were identified who entered the study widowed or divorced, and then remarried. Respondents were also identified who entered the study as married, became widowed or divorced, and then remarried. In the latter case, because of limitations of the RHS, only males were observed. With some matching relevant to the types of analyses carried out, comparison groups were selected, providing an opportunity to examine both antecedents and consequences of remarriage.Keywords
