Abstract:
This study assessed the health status and life satisfaction of professionally active and professionally inactive individuals among the retired people. The total sample size is taken 30. The sample of 15 professionally active and 15 professionally inactive individuals were taken among the retired people who were earlier in public sector jobs. People who were still engaged in some work after their retirement were taken as the sample of professionally active and people who were not engaged in any work were taken as the sample of professionally inactive. Purposive sampling was done because the aim of the study was to assess the health status and life satisfaction of professionally active and professionally inactive among the retired people. The study tried to find whether there exists a difference in life satisfaction and health status amongst the professionally active and professionally inactive individuals. Professionally active aged population were found to be higher on psychological health.
