This study examines retirement‑transition behavior among Quebecers aged 55 to 74, separately by sex and worker type (employees versus self‑employed). We estimate multinomial logit models using Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Administrative Databank (LAD) to quantify the determinants of these behaviors. Results indicate that moves between worker types after age 55 are rare, and transitions between employment statuses almost always lead toward retirement. Many Quebecers, however, extend their careers via part‑time work, sometimes for more than five years. These pathways—sharply differentiated by sex, worker type, and time since immigration—suggest that promoting continued reduced work supported by partial pensions is more realistic than expecting fully retired individuals to return to full‑time employment.
