Among exempt (salaried) employees who indicated an interest in reducing their hours and working part-time, more wanted to work either as contractors or consultants (even if that resulted in a loss of benefits) rather than as a part-time employee of the company. Male older workers (37 percent) were three times as likely as the women (12 percent) to indicate an interest in working as a consultant. (pp. 36, 38-39)
Parkinson, D. (2002). Voices of experience: Mature workers in the future workforce. New York, NY: The Conference Board.
"Anticipating the impact of demographic trends on businesses, The Conference Board has been engaged in research examining the aging population, health care for retired employees, and the opportunities and constraints of employing older workers. The Board convened the Engaging Mature Workers Working Group in September 2000 to address the challenge of maintaining a productive workforce in an aging society. HR executives representing corporate staffing, benefits administration, and diversity management functions at 15 leading companies are lending their expertise to developing business strategies that maximize the talents of mature workers."
