嬰兒潮一代工作年限越來越長,，后輩的崗位供應承受了連鎖反應,。有些人像路威酩軒（LVMH）總裁貝爾納·阿爾諾，恨不得占著位置越久越好,。也有一些人短暫休息后發(fā)現(xiàn)不適應,，選擇“退而不休”。新研究表明,，居家辦公可能是這一趨勢的背后推手,。
最近非營利公司Smart Energy GB對2000名英國人開展了調查，發(fā)現(xiàn)60歲以上的受訪者中近70%正從事混合型工作,。其余的人在盡量保持疫情期間居家辦公的習慣,。
由于不必日常通勤，原本可能退休的人們繼續(xù)工作的可能性增高,。如此不僅能更好地平衡工作與生活,，減輕壓力并保住工作，新工作方式也有助于提升活力,，有些人在朝九晚五之外還開啟了副業(yè),。
近40%的嬰兒潮一代表示業(yè)余時間忙點自己的事，其中指導后輩是最受歡迎的選擇,。
研究甚至聲稱,，由于能遠程工作，“現(xiàn)在60多歲這代人在為退休做準備方面比前輩做得更好”,，主要因為四分之一的人一邊居家辦公,，一邊在培養(yǎng)退休后希望嘗試的新興趣和愛好。

Baby boomers are increasingly working for longer—causing a ripple effect on the supply of jobs available for up and coming workers. Some, like LVMH’s Bernard Arnault, are hoarding their roles for as long as possible. Others are “unretiring” after briefly kicking up their feet and deciding it’s not for them. New research suggests working from home could be to blame for the trend.
The not-for-profit firm Smart Energy GB recently surveyed 2,000 Brits and found that nearly 70% of over-60s are currently working in hybrid roles. The rest have managed to retain the pandemic habit of working from home every day.
Not having to tackle the daily commute is helping them stay in jobs that they otherwise may have retired from. Not only is their work-life balance so much better that they’re less stressed and keeping their jobs, but they’re also so energized by their new working pattern that they’re starting side hustles on top of their nine-to-fives.
In fact, nearly 40% of baby boomers said that they’ve taken up a side gig, with tutoring being the most popular choice.
The study even claims that, thanks to remote working, “today’s generation of sixty-somethings have been able to prepare for retirement better than their predecessors”—that’s because a quarter have been able to take up new interests and hobbies that they would like to have taken up in retirement, but now while they continue to work from home.
Without the added grind of commuting, baby boomers essentially have the best of both worlds; they can retain their current income while also taking up gardening, walking and yoga.
While they say having these new hobbies will eventually make giving up their jobs easier, it’s clear that they probably don’t plan on retiring any time soon: Nine in 10 say they are happy with their careers, 66% are less stressed, and 94% feel like they have a new lease on life.
Unretiring: a global trend
The research comes as a growing number of retirees are dusting off their suits and returning to work.
In fact, a survey of more than 6,300 U.K. adults for Standard Life, part of the nation’s largest long-term savings and retirement business, found that 14% of baby boomers and late Gen Xers have already “unretired”—and a further 4% are considering it.
While 16% of women over 55 years old are planning a career return, this figure rises to nearly a quarter of men—some 21%.
And it’s not just in Britain that people are working well beyond retirement age. Across the pond, the number of those who have continued to work past 65 in the U.S. has quadrupled since the 1980s, according to the Pew Research Center.
Now, almost 20% of Americans 65 and older are employed, nearly double the share of those who were working 35 years ago. In total, there are around 11 million Americans 65 or older who are working today, accounting for 7% of all wages and salaries paid by U.S. employers. In 1987, they made up 2%.
It’s not that they’re missing the buzz of the office: Many older Americans and Brits are worried they won’t be able to afford the retired life they dreamed of. So instead of puttering around the house, they are working for longer to grow their pension pot, or taking up part-time gigs to sustain a better standard of life—and clearly, thanks to working from home, it’s not as tiresome to do so as it was for previous generations.
“I’ve got decades ahead of me, knock on wood,” Renee Stanton, a 61-year-old IT worker who is scaling back her hours to chase her lifelong passions, previously told Fortune. “I’m funding my ski addiction now.”
