REALITY CHECK!
Unretirement has less to do with money and more to do with life satisfaction
IT’S A FACT: Pre-pandemic research by the RAND Corporation found that 20 to 25% of retirees unretire in the first 5 years of retirement.* This is often less to do with money and more to do with life satisfaction, fulfilment, and purpose. (*MarketWatch November 24, 2021 article by Alicia Munnell)
Recent research shows 20% of retirees are now returning to work within 12 months of retiring.** In other words, unretiring is happening at a faster rate than before, and we can continue to expect an older workforce in the future. (**NY Times article November 17, 2021 quoting a report by Goldman Sachs economists)

1 October 2022 United Nations International Day of Older Persons
and 7 October 2022 Ageism Awareness Day
OTTAWA, Canada — TOP SIXTY OVER SIXTY along with the American Society on Aging (ASA) and others will celebrate Ageism Awareness Day on 7 October 2022. Modeled after the United Nations’ International Day of Older Persons on 1 October 2022, Ageism Awareness Day provides an opportunity to draw attention to the existence and impact of ageism in our society.
The most widespread and socially accepted form of prejudice, ageism is defined by the World Health Organization as “the stereotypes (how we think), prejudices (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) towards others or oneself based on age.” Evidence shows ageism is widespread in society and can be found everywhere, from our workplaces and health systems to stereotypes we see on TV, in advertising and in the media.
