"It is Important for Some People to Continue Being Somebody": Highly Educated Women's Identity and Work Motivations After Retirement Age.
As life expectancy increases and health improves, some working adults find that traditional retirement age is no longer desirable or feasible and may choose to postpone retirement from work. This study aims to explore the identity and work motivations of highly educated women in Israel who continue working beyond retirement age. By conducting seventeen in-depth semi-structured interviews with highly educated women working beyond retirement age, this qualitative-thematic analysis identifies five key factors influencing their decisions. The major themes include professional purpose, necessities driving their return, psychosocial determinants, social networks, and the role of human capital in facilitating employment opportunities. These insights highlight the need for policies promoting healthy aging and supporting post-retirement work engagement for women.

It provides an in-depth examination and analysis of critical phenomena that impact aging and the development and implementation of programs for the elderly from a global perspective, with a broad scope that encompasses not only the United States but also regions including Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America, Asia, and the Asia-Pacific rim.
The journal regularly addresses a wide array of issues such as long-term services and supports, home- and community-based care, nursing-home care, assisted living, long-term care financing, financial security, employment and training, public and private pension coverage, housing, transportation, health care access, financing, and quality, family dynamics, and retirement.
