Abstract

Retirement is a psycho social process. It refers to the phase of life when a person leaves his job and withdraws from active working life. Proper optimization of retirement is only possible when a person has pre planned his life with proper finances and saving or the government is providing him with a lot of social security benefits. However, such conditions rarely occur as a person is preoccupied in his pre retirement phases. But proper optimization of retirement can also take place when a person has high social intelligence which affects physical and mental health. Hence, this paper is an endeavor to look into the relevance of social intelligence which helps the people in their retirement process in the people. Thus, a survey was done to find the level of Social Intelligence in the people who are ageing and are going to be retired soon. Around 252 people between 55 to 70 years were studied from Delhi and NCR. The result indicated that middle aged and just retired people had high social intelligence as compared to older adults and the former were also able to optimize their retirement effectively for successful ageing. The older adults were not able to cope up with the various issues of retirement due to low social intelligence. Hence, further studies can be carried out to design proper training for enhancement of social intelligence in aged people for their effective optimization of retirement.

社会智力与有效优化退休和成功老龄化的相关性

退休是一个心理社会过程。它指的是一个人离开工作并退出活跃的工作生活的人生阶段。只有当一个人通过适当的财务和储蓄预先规划了自己的生活，或者政府为他提供了大量的社会保障福利时，才能适当地优化退休生活。然而，当一个人全神贯注于退休前的阶段时，这种情况很少发生。但是，当一个人具有影响身心健康的高社会智力时，也可以对退休进行适当的优化。因此，本文试图探讨社会智力在人们退休过程中的相关性。因此，进行了一项调查，以了解老龄化和即将退休的人的社会智力水平。对来自德里和NCR的大约252名55至70岁的人进行了研究。研究结果表明，与老年人相比，中年人和刚退休的人具有较高的社会智力，前者也能够有效地优化他们的退休生活，以成功老龄化。由于社会智力低下，老年人无法应对各种退休问题。因此，可以进行进一步的研究，以设计适当的培训来提高老年人的社会智力，从而有效地优化他们的退休生活。

期刊介绍： As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
