Abstract: Structural changes that occur as a result of an ageing society are an important issue that every country in the world must address. Perceptions of preparing for retirement are important because they will help people prepare for better life after retirement. In this study, we intended to understand the perceptions of individuals towards preparing for retirement from multiple aspect such as health, mental wellbeing and economics, among others. The study involved interviews of 400 people aged between 50-60 years old using a questionnaire survey. A weighted average index was applied to measure perceptions of the respondents and test mean differences between occupations. The results show the respondents were concerned about health, mental wellbeing and economic aspects. The respondents who work in civil service have good perceptions and are better prepared than people in other occupations, while private company employee have the weakest perceptions.
