Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate how changes in responsibilities, routines, and social interactions occur as people reach retirement age. In this particular study, a qualitative research methodology, together with semi-structured interviews was used. In order to gather information for the study, 110 former employees of the government of Bangladesh who are now retired were purposely selected as participants. The primary result suggests that participants are active with their families and carry out their family commitments and spend the most time doing so on the day after they retire. This is the case because participants spend the most time doing so in the morning after they retire. In addition to this, they participated in social exchanges. They see that their social value has decreased as a result of their retirement, which leads to a negative influence on their cognitive and psychological health as a consequence of the loss of their regular work. The vast majority of participants have a haphazard plan in place to keep them engaged, but they do not have any specific plans for how they will spend their time in the years to come. As a consequence of this, occupational therapy could end up becoming an essential component in the lives of retirees in the years to come.
