Elizabeth F. Fideler sa zameriava na výskum a písanie o starších mužoch a ženách, ktorí sa rozhodnú pokračovať v platenom zamestnaní aj po dosiahnutí zvyčajného dôchodkového veku. Jej práca skúma motivácie, skúsenosti a prínosy týchto jednotlivcov, ktorí sa rozhodnú pracovať dlhšie. Fideler sa zaoberá jedinečnými výzvami a príležitosťami, ktorým čelia, a ako ich pokračujúce angažovanie obohacuje pracovisko aj spoločnosť. Svojím výskumom osvetľuje často prehliadanú skupinu profesionálov, ktorí spochybňujú tradičné predstavy o starobe a odchode do dôchodku.
Highlighting the increasing presence of women aged sixty-five and older in the workforce, this book utilizes national survey data and personal interviews to explore their motivations for continuing to work beyond traditional retirement age. It features profiles of real working women, particularly those in professional roles, showcasing their diverse experiences and the factors influencing their decision to remain employed.
Men Still at Work explores the reasons why many men are continuing to work well beyond the traditional retirement age. In today's challenging economy, they are the second-fastest growing group of workers (just behind older women). Filled with profiles of older working men, as well as dynamic interview quotes, Men Still at Work explores thorny issues such as masculinity and the "need to provide," as well as economic issues, job satisfaction, and more.
