Description
Growing up and older at work is something we all experience, yet it remains surprisingly overlooked and under-theorised in management and organisation studies.
In this groundbreaking book, Working through Ageing, Kathleen Riach draws on a 10-year longitudinal study to offer fresh theoretical and empirical insights into how ageing is experienced in the workplace.
Introducing a new phenomenological theory of ageing at work, the book examines how individuals negotiate age-biased workplace cultures and adapt to their changing bodies within the context of financial capitalism. It reveals that ageing at work is not simply about demographic change or ageist stereotypes, but is an ongoing process that involves balancing professional expectations, the life course, and the self.
