I don’t know what “older workers” means anymore. I suspect it is anyone (in the US at least) over 50 who “theoretically” can take early retirement. However, even before the current economic situation, I don’t know of many who actually stopped all work (i.e. nothing that paid).

Some older Americans want to give back to society but need some pocket change to cover their costs, while others need a temporary cash cushion as they look to change careers. Either way, there are some options out there. This video is specific to the USA but it might help all of us to push the boundaries of what we think is possible.

For those in transition due to relocation, expat, mergers etc — regardless of age — might want to brainstorm on some of the suggestions and ideas mentioned to expand your own options.
