Men who stay in paid work
Recent articles suggest that the Global Financial Crisis is the reason men use as an excuse for staying on at work. It is that the crisis reduced their planned savings unexpectedly that they continue to work? Barbara Pocock, head of the Centre for Work + Life. For men, they may be daunted by the prospect of permanent leisure. They have been so attached to work and their identity with what they are paid to do. The prospect of considering what they would do after forty years of working is delaying the decision to stop work.
Certainly men and women face the prospect that they will earn no more as they work longer. Additional research shows that younger workers are demanding and commanding higher salaries than their managers. . Salaries for most workers aged 25-44 years rose at least twice as fast as those of workers aged over 45 years. It is the skills shortage such as in information technology and engineering that is attracting higher salaries. Are you interesting in upgrading your skills to meet these skills shortages? Why are you working still, as you grow older?
