UW-Madison Faculty Over Age 55 by School/College
Predicted Retirements by 2020 by School/College
Summary of Findings Since the mid 1970s, the average age of UW-Madison faculty members has increased by more than 5 years. Between 2000 and 2010, the number of faculty age 55 and over increased by 21%. Between 2000 and 2020, the number of faculty age 65 and over increased by 62%. Between 1990 and 2010, an average of 10% of faculty, age 55 and over, retired each year. Since 2002, faculty have been retiring at an average rate of 8% (lower than the historical rate as well as the predicted rate). In 2010, the faculty retirement rate was 7%, the lowest since at least the 1970s (and possibly ever). Overall, 38% of faculty members are age 55 or older. The proportion ranges from 76% in the School of Nursing to 28% in the School of Pharmacy. Because current faculty are older and because older faculty generally retire at higher rates than younger faculty, retirements are expected to increase over the next 10 years – 36% of faculty in 2010 are predicted to retire by 2020.
