It's odd. "They" (whoever "they" are) cannot make up their minds whether they want us old folks to work until we can barely waddle out of the workplace,
or get out of the workplace earlier and open up slots for the younger unemployed workers.

Japanese workers save money for that horrendous 5 year gap.
Saving money means not SPENDING money, and our own national economy is dependent on us spending, not saving!
Japan's economy is also dependent on spending.

Ageing is an adventure in the workplace .
Or anywhere else.
Recent research by Monash University and the Australian Institute of Management found older workers may bring specific management
skills and crystallized intelligence (intelligence based on knowledge acquisition and experience) to the table,
where younger managers may have higher levels of fluid intelligence (basic or abstract reasoning ability).
Wow.
Excuse me!
Not all older people "crystallize".
Some remain fluid.
OK.
Most of us do dry up a little. Crack around the edges. "Crystallize", if you will. Experienced. Got the tee shirt.
pinterestThanks for the fly-by. You obviously haven't crystallized!
