This study leverages the Neutrosophic COPRAS method to assess strategies for easing the transition into retirement, focusing specifically on the critical role of emotional and psychological support. By incorporating neutrosophic sets, the research captures the complexity and ambiguity inherent in human perceptions of retirement and its impact on family dynamics, especially within the socio-economic and cultural context of Ecuador. The Neutrosophic COPRAS method facilitates a nuanced analysis, enabling the evaluation of strategies under conditions of uncertainty and indeterminacy. Key findings highlight the necessity of implementing targeted support programs that directly address the emotional and psychological challenges associated with retirement. The study’s innovative approach not only contributes to the understanding of retirement's effect on family dynamics but also showcases the Neutrosophic COPRAS method as a valuable tool for decision-making in complex scenarios. It calls for the development of policies and programs that are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the Ecuadorian population, emphasizing the importance of cultural and socio-economic considerations in crafting interventions to promote healthy retirement adaptation and family cohesion.
