Bender, Keith A.; Heywood, John S. – Education Economics, 2011
Previous research confirms that many employees work in jobs not well matched to their skills and education, resulting in lower pay and job satisfaction.

Bowen, Lauren Marshall – College Composition and Communication, 2011
Through an eighty-one-year-old woman's literacy narrative, I argue that literacy researchers should pay greater attention to elder writers, readers, and learners. Particularly as notions of literacy shift in digital times, the perspective of a lifespan can reveal otherwise hidden complexities of literacy, including the motivational impact of…

O'Connor, Melissa L.; McFadden, Susan H. – Educational Gerontology, 2012
According to Terror Management Theory as applied to ageism, older adults may be associated with mortality, thereby generating death-thought accessibility, stereotypes, and mixed emotions among younger adults. However, it is unclear how older adults' health conditions, such as dementia, affect ageist attitudes and mortality salience. In the current…

National Institute of Adult Continuing Education, 2009
This briefing sheet is about lifelong learning for people aged 50+ years and how participation in learning can help maintain and improve mental health and wellbeing in later life. There is no commonly agreed definition of "older" people, and clearly people age at different rates. However, by the mid 50s, for most people retirement is…

Desmond, Norma – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
The author had been trying, and failing, for years to land a tenure-track position in English. She had a few interviews over the years, but she knew she had been typecast as an adjunct. Administrators seemed to believe that men and women under 40 were better teachers: more creative, more energetic, more attractive. And attractiveness counts among…

Lauzon, Al – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2011
Universities and graduate education are increasingly viewed as part of the emerging lifelong learning and education system and we see the evidence of this as the average age of graduate students increases.

Expenditures per recipient are substantially higher for younger individuals with…
