This Fact Sheet examines older workers who are more likely to work part time:

Part-time employment typically increases with age.

Workers ages 65 and older are substantially more likely than those ages 25 to 64 to work part time; however, full-time employment for the oldest age group has been increasing.

Women are more likely than men to work part time across age groups, although the differences diminish with increasing age.

For workers ages 65 and older, white non-Hispanics are the most likely of all the race/ethnic groups to work part time. Part-time status for younger workers does not appear to differ by race or ethnicity.
