Baby Boomer Scenario
The oldest of the large Baby Boom generation have reached retirement age, but many are finding they don't want to retire and are asking themselves, "What should I do next?" According to Statistics Canada, the number of people over the age of 55 that are employed had risen to 39.4% in 2010 from 30.5% only 13 years earlier. One survey in the U.S. found that half of Americans between the ages of 44 and 70 want to move on to an "encore career" instead of retiring to a life of leisure like previous generations. Many of these encore careers combine income with social impact, meaning these individuals want to do something that can change the world. "Social sector" industry jobs, such as health care, educational services, nonprofits, performing arts, museums, and libraries, are expected to experience robust growth in the next decade, fitting nicely with the aspirations of the Baby Boom generation.
-Refer to Baby Boomer Scenario. Many Baby Boomers pursuing encore careers might not have as much time to spend caring for grandchildren compared to earlier generations. Their children may be upset because they expect their parents to help with child care like their own grandparents did for their parents. What does this situation have the potential to create for the grandparent?
A) stigmatization
B) homogamy
C) role conflict
D) dissonance
