Some people like to work, gives them something to do. My father is 64 now, and has no plans to retire until, as I quote "I'll work until I croak." And no, he has no delusions of the possibility of trans-species identity swaps.
I know the horror of it all--people who don't need to be working actually having jobs when they could be living completely off the work of others. Whatever is this world coming to. There ought to be laws against this kind of initiative before it spreads like the plague.
No, I'm just saying the figure of %15 doesn't necessarily mean that all of that %15 doesn't want to be working.More people like to work when they're older now than they did just 15 years ago? Riiiiight.

Leisure would be nice!
For some I know who do it, it is the lonely that drives them to do it.
So people have grown more lonesome over the past 15 years? That's the source of this? Someone should write a paper about that.

Maybe working past age 65 has become more socially acceptable. I dunno.
I also wonder that it's insecurity caused by the recession. Older folks may feel that if they are able to work and fortunate enough to have a job, that it's only prudent to continue to work, as if they retire then hit hard times, they might not be able to find another job at all.
I'm fine if it's what people really want to do, but I have serious doubt that that is the case.
So why do you think that more old folks are working?
No money to retire.
Most likely.
So could that be a result of middle class incomes not increasing as fast as we have improved our lifestyles? Like as a result of to much borrowing so that this generation could have a better standard of living than their parents did?
