ABSTRACT

There will be a proportion of the older workforce who will experience physical fatigue. One of the frequent issues raised is the increasing drain of energy experienced by those older workers who have a long commute. People certainly worry about their finances in old age and increasingly will feel that they must stay in work as long as they can in order to save money for what they generally expect will be a long period of retirement. The stock market fall and pension problems had removed the financial security he had anticipated to be able to rely upon. Those who are self-employed have seldom made enough money to be able to contribute in any realistic way to their pensions. It is easy for people to assume that older people do not have goals and aspirations, that they have achieved all or most of what they set out to achieve and closed the door to new aspirations.
