The Baby Boomer generation is facing a time of heightened
uncertainty. Blessed with unprecedented levels of education,
health, and life expectancy, many hope to contribute to society
after their retirement. Yet they must also navigate ambiguous
career exits and retirement paths, as established scripts for
schooling, parenting, and careers continue to unravel. In Encore
Adulthood, Phyllis Moen presents the realities of the "encore" life
stage - the years between traditional careers and childraising and
old age. Drawing on large-scale data sets and interviews with
Boomers, HR personnel, and policymakers, this book illuminates the
challenges that Boomers encounter as they transition from
traditional careers into retirement. Beyond data analysis, Moen
discusses the personal impact for Boomers' wellbeing, happiness,
and health when they are unable to engage in meaningful work during
their encore years, as well as the potential economic loss that
would occur when a large, qualified group of people prematurely
exit the workforce. Moen concludes with proposals for a range of
encore jobs that could galvanize Boomers to take on desirable and
sought-after second acts, emphasizing meaningful work over
high-paying jobs and flexibility over long hours. An important
analysis of an understudied and new life stage, Encore Adulthood
makes an important contribution to the existing scholarship on
careers, work, and retirement.
