More particularly, to determine if there is a significant positive relationship between involvement and their financial preparation for retirement, to establish whether the influence of involvement is moderated by an individual's age, income or gender, their level of education or the number of dependents they support, and to explore the role of involvement in how and why individuals form opinions about financial preparation for retirement. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / xiv, 259 p
