Sun Life Financial released a survey in which 22% of respondents said they had to retire earlier than they expected - by seven years.

Layoffs and corporate downsizing were most often the reason for early retirement. Other reasons for leaving work included illness, injury and family obligations.

Workers forced into early retirement were far short of their savings goals, with 55% saying they retired before they were eligible for social security benefits.
