From:

For Immediate Release:
Dateline: Boston, MA
Thursday, February 18, 2021

 

“Aging, Work, and Retirement: A Trifecta of Challenges” will explore the trends associated with mature adults working in the retirement years. In the context of changing demographics and the changing modalities of retirement, we will discuss the reasons why increasing numbers of women and men are bypassing conventional retirement age and staying in or returning to the workforce. We will consider age diversity, ageism, and age-friendliness in the workplace. We will look at the impact of the pandemic on older workers, with particular attention to gender and social class differences.

During this program you’ll discover how:

  • the older worker phenomenon continues apace.
  • the older worker phenomenon is global.
  • there’s a big difference between choosing to stay on the job and being forced to by necessity.
  • job satisfaction, finding meaning or a sense of purpose in one’s work, can be a more powerful motivator than money.
  • aging, work, and retirement each come with their own challenges, especially during a pandemic.
