中高齡者退休後仍可透過就業、志願服務、家人照顧等途徑，對社會有所貢獻。本研究旨在應用生產老化觀點，探討已退休者繼續貢獻社會的經驗，針對21位已退休並繼續在樂齡中心貢獻之退休者進行訪談。研究結果發現，在貢獻經驗部分：（一）願意繼續貢獻的原因主要來自外在因素驅使；（二）退休者通常有一種以上的貢獻經驗，又以社會參與最為普遍；（三）貢獻途徑以無給職的貢獻為居多；（四）貢獻之前需做好各種內外在準備，又以財務規劃為優先考量；（五）退休後繼續貢獻可產生個人、家庭及社區三方面的效益。在貢獻障礙部分：（一）以專業障礙最為普遍，顯示專業經驗與素養之缺乏；（二）環境障礙涵蓋許多層面，以機構與人際問題為共同的困境。
