Abstract

The study aims to identify the retirees' family problems after retirement, the degree of retirees' adaptation to the new lifestyle, as well as the retirees' sense of social isolation. In this study, the descriptive survey method was used. Which is considered one of the most appropriate approaches to the current study. The study population represents male retirees, as the study was applied to a non-probability (intentional) sample of (220) Saudi retirees in the city of Riyadh. The questionnaire was chosen as a tool for collecting the data of the study, as the electronic questionnaire was distributed to Saudi retirees. The results of the study revealed that there are family problems facing the retirees from the study sample, which were represented to some extent in the increase in the degree of conflict between the retirees and their children, and the interference of retired husbands in the affairs of the house, which may result in an increase in criticism between husbands in the family, and the occurrence of disputes between retirees and their wives. The results of the study also found that the study sample agreed to some extent on the difficulty of adjusting to the stage of retirement, and the retirees' sense of social isolation. The results of the study also showed that there is some satisfaction with the services provided to retirees, and the agreement of the study sample on the limited role of community institutions in benefiting from the experiences of retirees,
