Abstract
The paper examined retirement adjustment challenges among people who have retired from active working in Ethiope East Local government area of Delta State. The paper adopted the survey research design and the questionnaire was specifically designed to elicit responses from participants. Research hypotheses were postulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Analysis was done with tables, simple percentages and the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results from the analysis showed among other things that delay in the sum of money paid to these people who have retired from active services represent one of the highest retirement challenges often faced by retirees in Ethiope East. We also found that another retirement challenge was the lack of a welfare benefit for retirees. Additionally, we observed that aging, feeling of disregard, an emotional wound that leads psychological injury and apprehension arising from the lack of money generating activities are major challenges confronting retirees in Ethiope East LGA of Delta State. Resulting from these findings, we recommend amongst others that the Local Government Service Commission should establish counselling units where general retirement issues can be discussed concerning retirement.
