Second Half… of Life.
Study in United States points out that that senior citizens “working after retirement” suffer less cardiovascular diseases or diabetes than their peers who do not work at all. Retired senior citizens working in the same industry as before are also better in terms of mental health. Senior citizens, who choose to work again, start a business or volunteer, enjoy a wonderful second half of their lives. The labor force will be in decline. Steering Committee on Population Policy suggests that senior citizens should be encouraged to engage in the workplace again. Scholars opine that other than personal gain for the retirees, productivity of the society can also be maintained. What are the benefits for the senior citizens?
美國有研究指出，「退休後再就業」的長者比完全不工作的，較少患心血管或糖尿等病。長者從事退休前相同的行業，精神健康亦較好。長者們享受精彩的人生下半場，選擇重新工作、創業或做義工。勞動人口將會下降，人口政策督導委員會提出建議，鼓勵長者重新投入職場。有學者認為，除了個人的好處外，也可維持社會生產力。長者們究竟有什麼得著呢？
