Episode Description

What if one of the best solutions to America's biggest challenges—like health, loneliness, and the economy—was as simple as letting people work longer if they want to? In this episode of This is Getting Old, Tim Driver shares why extending opportunities for older adults to remain in the workforce benefits individuals, employers, and society as a whole.

Drawing on data, surveys, and real-world examples, Tim shows how working longer can boost health, strengthen businesses, and even lift the economy. But it's not just about employers creating age-friendly environments—older adults also need to stay adaptable and engaged. Together, both sides can reshape what work looks like in an age-friendly world.
