Description

Given the large numbers of baby boomers who are at an age where retirement is an active consideration, it is critical for HRD and AE scholars and practitioners to consider seriously their roles in preparing such professionals for making appropriate decisions; making their retirement healthy, productive, and rewarding; and assisting such professionals in achieving their visions once that decision is made. There is a void in the literature addressing these roles. In this symposium, we will explore with attendees what these roles might be, expanding our understanding about what retirement means, and how to expand the research in these areas.
