- Title
The Encore Life: A Generation of Experienced Workers Is Ready to Serve.
- Authors
Freedman, Marc
- Abstract
The new Administration can and should advance policies and programs that harness and develop the proven strengths of experienced, "encore" talent in social-impact roles, including funding the 2009 Serve America Act, creating an encore-focused White House Conference on Aging, and expanding access to programs like Americorps and the Peace Corps. As longevity rises and economic and other pressures encourage many people in their 60s, 70s, and beyond to continue to work, encore careers that benefit all generations offer a dynamic, creative alternative to traditional retirement and social isolation.
