Psychosocial and cognitive outcomes of residential relocation and retirement: The Transitions In Later Life (TRAILL) project

Residential relocation, and retirement from the workforce represent two significant later life transitions that can have substantial implications for social relations and well-being. Using innovative approaches to the study of adult development and ageing, this project aims to study changes in psychological wellbeing, social networks, and cognitive function that are associated with residential relocation and retirement in a sample of older Australians. Results will inform policy related to community, workforce, volunteering and social issues in Australia.
