Full edition for scientific use. In addition to the core variables of the Microcensus Labour Force Survey (LFS), the LFS also has so-called ad-hoc-modules (AHM) that can vary from year to year. The EU-LFS ad-hoc-module 2012 on ‘Transition from work to retirement’ includes questions about the topics: how people leave the labour market, why they left the labour market and why they did not stay longer, how long they expect to be in the labour market. Persons aged 50 to 69 years living in private households, currently working or having worked after the age of 50 were interviewed. The questions of the ad-hoc-module were asked following the questions of the basic programme. The dataset also includes all questions of the main survey of the Microcensus 2012.
