Welcome to this episode of The 60 and More Crowd Podcast.
Here on the podcast the focus is on working longer/keeping a work chapter in your 60's, 70's and more. Something big is happening in the workplace: this is a generation where many people say they intend to work into their 70's and/or longer. Many people are also "un-retiring" and jumping back into the workforce.
There’s a shift happening—some call it unretirement…
This episode dives into this and why more people across the globe across are choosing to stay in the workforce longer vs a traditional hard stop retirement. How is the shifting the workplace? We shine a spotlight on age 65+ demographic rends in Europe, Canada and the US.
Episode themes : three powerful drivers shaping this global shift:
• Age demographics and the realities of an aging population
• Worker surveys revealing why people are choosing, what they need
• New ways to work that make longer careers possible: phased retirement, semi-retirement, part-time, launching second careers
The World Economic Forum states: in the G7, there are now more people over 65 than under 15. The WEF also states that nearly 10% of the global population is over 65+.
I am Sue Plant, the host, producer, creator and chief research officer too. I guide the conversation with listeners around the modern global workplace.
Post longtime career role, I now explore how work is evolving beyond traditional retirement.
In the spirit of The 60 and More Crowd Podcast: you can't navigate new paths with an old map!
