초록
In an era of unprecedented economic changes and challenges in the 21st century, we face increased globalization, advances in information and technology, and a rapidly increasing aging population. Particularly, for older workers, there have been fewer opportunities for upward mobility, and forced retirement has made individuals more responsible for directing their retirement. The purpose of this conceptual study is to understand the limitations of the system in which retirement is formed based on age, the traditional approach in which full-time adults leave their jobs when they reach a certain age, and the varying dimensions of retirement triggered by changing employment patterns and an increase in average life expectancy. First, this conceptual study reviewed retirement models including innovation and continuity theories and analyzed their lack of attention to retirement as an outdated social institution, limiting our understanding of retirement’s features. Second, the limitations of the retirement system, which was designed on the premise of traditional career development and career path, and the instability of retirement as a social phenomenon were analyzed. As a result, the need for awareness of retirement insecurity as being embedded in traditional career paths is addressed and critical approach to address the roles and meaning of learning in retirement is suggested, and implications for adult education are presented.
Abstract
In an era of unprecedented economic changes and challenges in the 21st century, we face increased globalization, advances in information and technology, and a rapidly increasing aging population. Particularly, for older workers, there have been fewer opportunities for upward mobility, and forced retirement has made individuals more responsible for directing their retirement. The purpose of this conceptual study is to understand the limitations of the system in which retirement is formed based on age, the traditional approach in which full-time adults leave their jobs when they reach a certain age, and the varying dimensions of retirement triggered by changing employment patterns and an increase in average life expectancy. First, this conceptual study reviewed retirement models including innovation and continuity theories and analyzed their lack of attention to retirement as an outdated social institution, limiting our understanding of retirement’s features. Second, the limitations of the retirement system, which was designed on the premise of traditional career development and career path, and the instability of retirement as a social phenomenon were analyzed. As a result, the need for awareness of retirement insecurity as being embedded in traditional career paths is addressed and critical approach to address the roles and meaning of learning in retirement is suggested, and implications for adult education are presented.
