Marleen Damman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Utrecht University. She is currently working on the research project “Retirement of the solo self-employed,” which is financed through an NWO Veni grant. This project focuses on the question how work- and career-related diversity within the group of solo self-employed individuals is related to retirement preparation and (ideas about) retirement transitions.
Before she started working at Utrecht University, Marleen worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Radboud University and the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI-KNAW). She received her PhD degree from the University of Amsterdam (2014).
Marleen has published research about retirement preparation, the transition from work to retirement, and postretirement adjustment processes in several interdisciplinary scientific journals. See for example:
