Full Description
Older Women Who Work: Resilience, Choice, and Change provides one of the first in-depth examinations of women age 5 and older who have delayed retirement, exploring personal and career identity, social roles, and quality of life concerns.
The seventeenth book in APA's Division 35 Psychology of Women series, this edited volume presents a rich array of qualitative and quantitative research on older women's experiences in the workplace.
Chapter authors share insights about how organizational leaders can change societal structures to better support the motivations and needs of diverse older women in the workplace.
The book also describes how consultants, educators, and mental health professionals can encourage development of personal grit, to help the growing numbers of older women exercise their right to opportunities and be adaptable in the face of employment challenges.
