Funded Activity Summary

Women Consider Retirement: A Critical Investigation of Attitudes Towards Work, Ageing and Retirement in Three Generations of Australian Women. The broad aim of this project is to investigate what work and retirement mean for women as they age and to consider the implications of these attitudes, intentions and experiences for government policy, especially given current concerns about workforce maintenance in view of population ageing. The project will: - develop a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics, attitudes and experiences of three generations of women in relation to work, ageing and retirement - examine the extent and consequences of generational and geographic differences in attitudes and choices - explore the complex social and cultural factors shaping these attitudes, choices and consequences.
