The advent of global modernisation presents itself with multitudes of challenges for the growing elderly population one of which is the challenge of productive aging which inadvertently affects their overall quality of life. Many senior citizens are now engaging in work either in paid form or in volunteer work. Aligned to this view the present research was conducted in the Delhi/NCR region to study the quality of life of persons who are formally retired from work organisations and those who have attained re-employment post-retirement. The study consisted of a sample of sixty elderly persons aged between 58–80 years. The study applied a t-test to assess the average difference in the scores. The findings of the study revealed a significant difference in the quality of life of persons who were retired and for those employed post-retirement.
