This talk is the second in the series Living Longer. Even though the default retirement age has been removed in many countries and we are working longer either through choice or because we have to, we will still have a long period of retirement to look forward to. This talk explores the benefits of working longer and being active and productive in retirement. It looks at the new stage of ‘the explorer’ being added to our lives and the idea that retirement should now be the opportunity to build a portfolio of interesting and rewarding things to be involved in.
