Older Adults Engage in Work Post-Retirement for Purpose and Financial Needs
Two articles highlight different experiences of older adults engaging in work post-retirement. Otis D'Souza, a retired millionaire, volunteers as an unpaid intern at a Mumbai startup to find purpose beyond wealth. In contrast, many senior citizens in Bengaluru seek paid employment due to financial needs, facing challenges like age bias and skill gaps. Job fairs reveal that financial hardship drives most older jobseekers, who often support families and desire training to improve employability.
