Well-being trajectories and dynamic resource shifts in the transitions of retirement: a longitudinal study of Taiwanese older adults

This study highlights the importance of understanding distinct well-being trajectories and how resources differently influence retirement stages in Taiwan's unique context. Policymakers should recognize this heterogeneity rather than implementing one-size-fits-all solutions. Given the crucial role of family support in early retirement and the growing importance of volunteering later, policies should strengthen family systems while expanding social participation opportunities.
