This article studies how retirement affects contact frequency with a wider range of social ties. We formulate and test differential hypotheses for each category of ties, and additionally examine gender and partner status differences.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We analyze 3 waves of panel data of the NIDI Pension Panel Study, collected in the Netherlands between 2015 and 2023 (n\u2005=\u20055,238). We use 2-way fixed-effects regression models to study within-person change in contact frequency with the different categories of social ties after retirement. To test the differential hypotheses, we conduct Wald tests comparing coefficients across models.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The results indicate that retirement stimulates contact primarily with neighbors and friends, to a lesser extent with siblings and (grand)children, and does not affect contact frequency with parents. Contact with ex-coworkers initially increases but then decreases over time. For women, the positive association between retirement and contact with ex-coworkers, friends, and children is stronger. Not having a partner reduces the association between retirement and contact with friends and ex-coworkers.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our findings suggest that retirees attempt to replace lost workplace interactions by engaging with their former colleagues outside of work and increasing contact with neighbors. Simultaneously, the results suggest substantial continuity in contact with all ties. We suggest that larger changes might take place outside of the ties studied here, with new contacts, and provide several suggestions for future research.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/geronb\/gbaf042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,6]],"date-time":"2025-03-06T05:02:41Z","timestamp":1741237361000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Differential Impact of Retirement on Contact Frequency With Family, Friends, Neighbors, and Coworkers"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"80","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5508-2563","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jasper J A","family":"Bosma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute-KNAW\/University of Groningen and the University Medical Centre Groningen , Groningen ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3416-5191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"K\u00e8ne","family":"Henkens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute-KNAW\/University of Groningen and the University Medical Centre Groningen , Groningen ,","place":["the Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Sociology, University of Amsterdam , Amsterdam ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanna","family":"van Solinge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute-KNAW\/University of Groningen and the University Medical Centre Groningen , Groningen ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0001","first-page":"427","article-title":"Social relations: An examination of social networks, social support, and sense of control","volume-title":"Handbook of the psychology of aging","author":"Antonucci","year":"2001","edition":"5th ed."},{"key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0002","volume-title":"The sociology of retirement","author":"Atchley","year":"1976"},{"issue":"3","key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"375","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnab043","article-title":"Support exchanges among very old parents and their children: Findings from the Boston aging together study","volume":"62","author":"Boerner","year":"2022","journal-title":"Gerontologist"},{"issue":"5","key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"445","DOI":"10.1002\/job.2438","article-title":"Retiring: Role identity processes in retirement transition","volume":"41","author":"Bordia","year":"2020","journal-title":"Journal of Organizational Behavior"},{"issue":"3","key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"331","DOI":"10.1037\/\/0882-7974.7.3.331","article-title":"Social and emotional patterns in adulthood: Support for socioemotional selectivity theory","volume":"7","author":"Carstensen","year":"1992","journal-title":"Psychology and Aging"},{"key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0006","author":"CBS","year":"2024"},{"key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2139\/ssrn.1096101","author":"Chen","year":"2007","journal-title":"Women\u2019s earning power and the \u201cdouble burden\u201d of market and household work"},{"issue":"2","key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"275","DOI":"10.1515\/ger-2020-0109","article-title":"The effect of retirement on social relationships","volume":"23","author":"Comi","year":"2022","journal-title":"German Economic Review"},{"issue":"6","key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"782","DOI":"10.1093\/geronb\/gbr111","article-title":"Independence through social networks: Bridging potential among older women and men","volume":"66","author":"Cornwell","year":"2011","journal-title":"Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences"},{"issue":"2","key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"185","DOI":"10.1177\/000312240807300201","article-title":"The social connectedness of older adults: A national profile","volume":"73","author":"Cornwell","year":"2008","journal-title":"American Sociological Review"},{"issue":"3","key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"345","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1475-6811.2010.01283.x","article-title":"Maintaining work-related personal ties following retirement","volume":"17","author":"Cozijnsen","year":"2010","journal-title":"Personal Relationships"},{"issue":"4","key":"2025052714093460100_CIT0012","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"719","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1533-8525.2008.00133.x","article-title":"Is work the new neighborhood?
