The objective of this study is to compare two groups of 55-60 years, one group who had taken early retirement and the other group who are employed, regarding their participation in the economy and to explore the factors affecting the ageing economy. This is quantitative research, and the data were collected via an online survey of a group of 495 people aged between 55 and 60 years selected by accidental selection. The Index of Item–Objective Congruence (IOC) was applied to test the reliability of the survey. The sample group was divided into two groups, those who had retired early and those who were employed, and employment status was used as a covariant together with dependent variables including demographic factors (gender, education level, career, and housemate) and factors relating to the use of the Internet (device, place, and daily usage). The findings show that the employed group are better prepared for retirement than the early retirement group; however, the early retirement population tends to participate more in the ageing economy, as they have higher in-kind and in-cash revenues. In addition, education level, career, housemate, Internet use, device, and place are factors affecting the ageing economy. The paper recommends that the public sector should create saving plans for young employees, and should provide information about how to prepare for retirement; moreover, to bring older people back to the labor market, useful courses and learning centers should be available for this population, so that they can use their potential to drive the nation’s economy
