Topic 6.5
How has the perception of retirement shifted over time due to societal changes?
Retirement was previously seen as a positive phase of life, but now it's associated with decline and dependency.
Retirement is now often viewed more positively as an opportunity for personal growth or leisure activities after years of work life balance stressors.
Retirement used to be considered a reward for hard work, but now it's often viewed negatively due to financial constraints.
Retirement is increasingly viewed as a necessity due to health challenges in old age, while earlier it was optional.
