Age Against The Machine

New rules for working in an ageist world

We’re here to blow apart some of the myths that prevent older workers from fully participating in the world of work. Work is the cornerstone of purpose, income and connection - typically denied to people as they get older either directly through ageism or indirectly through the misselling of the retirement dream.

The book is broken into two sections.

Part One:

This is a wake up call: readers need to understand the size and scale of the problem to ready themselves for the changes they need to make. By the end of part one, the reader will understand how retirement came about and why it’s no longer fit for purpose. They’ll know every marker of successful ageing is associated with those who work and feel through this a sense of purpose. They’ll understand why recruitment is broken and how poorly prepared governments and organisations are to support them. In short, they will know the only way for them to help themselves and others, is to read part two.

Part Two

We help readers get their heads into gear by busting common myths (e.g. do a job you love). We provide a structure for people to navigate change in an ageist world and show them how to be a constructive age activist so they can become part of the solution.
