Understanding Unretirement

Unretirement is defined as a positive alternative to traditional retirement, emphasizing continued engagement and meaningful activities rather than complete withdrawal from work. This concept is particularly appealing to those who find the word 'retirement' indicative of ending their contribution and purpose. Many individuals, especially as life expectancy increases, seek to remain active, exploring new opportunities and personal passions. Unretirement encourages individuals to shift their focus from cessation of work to pursuing enjoyable and fulfilling ventures, often with the potential for income generation.
