Why are people working longer? It’s not what you think: (OPINION)
When Elizabeth Fideler, a founding member of the Sloan Research Network on Aging & Work at Boston College, wrote “Women Still at Work: Professionals Over Sixty and On the Job” eight years ago, it was groundbreaking. Two years later, Fideler returned with the follow-up: “Men Still at Work: Professionals Over Sixty and On the Job.”
Although female respondents to the survey split fairly equally among low-, medium-, and higher-income brackets and male respondents tend toward higher income levels with at least moderate financial security, they are all privileged in being able to choose whether to retire or to continue working, she notes. “In contrast, for poorly educated older workers employed in low-wage, low-skill, high-turnover jobs, necessity is frequently the driver,” Fideler says.
EF: Where are Maggie Kuhn and the Gray Panthers when we need them?! Surveys by AARP and others indicate that age discrimination vis a vis hiring and promotion has not lessened over the past 50-plus years since passage of the ADEA , even though it has become less blatant. Manager and co-worker perceptions and negative stereotypes in regard to age, motivation, and technological know-how can limit mature workers’ access to training and professional development.
