Lifestyle Planning: Redefining Careers for the Mature Worker
After 50 - 60 our career horizon gets shorter and we begin to feel the need to make our careers meaningful. We are urged to develop ourselves to be all we can be, to let go of unrealised dreams and to move beyond our limited view of self.
"My deep interest in the personal and career development of the aging worker and the impacts that an aging workforce will have on organisations has led me to undertake a Masters research project entitled - Working Longer: The heroic tasks of older workers to manager their career and make transitions later in life. This project offers an in depth look at the issues and the opportunities an aging workforce offers." Kaye Avery Email Kaye to access this paper.
