description

Salminen and von Bonsdorff provide a much-needed overview of recent studies focusing on older employees’ late career and retirement intentions in the context of the changing nature of careers. Owing to the current turbulent working life, individuals’ career and retirement patterns are more diverse and complex than before. By focusing on contemporary career models, Salminen and von Bonsdorff explore the possibilities and constraints that older employees may encounter under the new career realities. Based on the selective literature review, they identify several prerequisites for continuing working until retirement age and beyond, such as possibilities for continuous learning, adaptability, self-directed career attitude, and value-driven career decisions.
