Welcome to this new 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.
This episode dives into The Rise of Un‑retirement and why more people across the globe across are choosing to stay in the workforce longer vs a traditional hard stop retirement. 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+.
In the spirit of The 60 and More Crowd Podcast: you can't navigate new paths with an old map!
