Summary/Abstract: In this chapter, we analyze the circumstances that one should consider while deciding when to retire. In Poland, over 90 percent of workers decide to retire either at the retirement age or shortly after. However, the results of our models indicate that ability to compare the individual and the general life expectancy allows one to benefit from postponing retirement. The demographic causes and the current Polish pension scheme make the odds of profit in favour of women.
