The labor force participation rate among the general population is ~60%. Among those 65-74, it's 25%. And that's not accounting for people who can't retire. It also doesn't account for those who want to work but are unable.



Ok. How does that relate?


People who do not have to work work much less than people who do have to.


I don't think that's particularly good evidence for that. You're confusing "has a job" with "is working" and you are ignoring the age effects that are the whole reason retirement exists in the first place.
