Abstract: Retirement is a significant milestone for government officials who have committed their careers to public service. Adjusting to life after retirement presents several obstacles, including financial adaptations, identity transformations, and changes in social relations. Understanding the impact of social support throughout the transition is crucial for establishing tailored interventions to improve the welfare of retired federal personnel. Having understood the numerous challenges that come with being a retired civil servant and the importance of social support in mitigating these challenges, the study was commissioned to identify the socio-demographic factors that influence the livelihood of retired civil servants, evaluate the quality of livelihood enjoyed by retired civil servants, assess the forms of social support available to retired civil servants, examine the correlation between social support and the overall livelihood of retired civil servants and investigate the barriers to accessing social support for retired civil servants in Lagos State.
