Longer Lives, Shorter Plans
Rethinking work, care, friendship, and purpose beyond the old life timetable
This proposed book would challenge the idea that one sequence of milestones can organize every adult life. It would examine later-life work, unequal health and resources, changing households, intergenerational obligations, and the need to keep building social ties. Readers would explore flexible plans for identity and participation across different life stages, with attention to the gap between having more years and having more choices. It would treat aging as a social arrangement as well as a personal experience.

The idea behind the book +
Chapter 2 of the IMF's April 2025 World Economic Outlook examines population aging, healthy aging, and older people's participation in work. Those questions invite a broader discussion of how institutions and personal expectations organize later life.
