From the article: "Americans are worried about their finances: A survey released earlier this week from life insurance company Allianz found that 64% of adults aged 25 and older are more stressed about the thought of running out of money in retirement than they are about the idea of death.

"Respondents cited high inflation (54%), insufficient Social Security checks (43%), and high taxes (43%) as the reasons they were afraid their money would run out."

Headline: Why ageing well takes a village

Source: World Economic Forum
From the article: "Like everything in life, ageing is not something we do alone. That’s even more true when it comes to ageing well. Systems, sectors and policies create the conditions – the ecosystems – that make it possible for individuals to age with good health and economic wellbeing.

"As people around the world navigate current trends around resilient public retirement systems, accumulation versus decumulation and the role of technology, climate change and more in our lives, positive action and big change will simply not be possible without focused collaboration.

"This is a powerful lesson that the US National Council on Aging (NCOA) learned more than 75 years ago – and continues to live by today."

From the article: "With people aged 75 and older projected to be the fastest growing segment of the U.S. workforce, HR leaders face an urgent challenge: adapting workplaces to accommodate older employees working past the traditional retirement age.

“As our workforce ages, employers must shift their mindset to view accommodations for older workers not as an added burden but as an opportunity to enhance productivity, retain talent and foster an inclusive workplace,” said Brandy Burch, CEO at Benefitbay, a benefits solutions provider.

"The demographic shift is already well underway. The average age of workers in the U.S. is 42, with some industries skewing even older. Yet, many companies fall behind when it comes to accommodating older employees."

My sense is that #OlderWorkers probably have a very good grasp of why they are no longer in the employment space.

I wonder if any good qualitative #research has been done to understand them - or is the (what I believe is very patronisingly called) midlife MoT just being flung out there to get some headlines?
