Below Janette Bonner—a<br />

‘twilight’ worker in the spotlight.<br />

the report also found<br />

that twilight careers<br />

(workers over the age of<br />

63) remain the fastestgrowing<br />

segment and<br />

numbers have reached<br />

record levels. For the<br />

first time, the number of<br />

people employed in this<br />

segment has reached the<br />

half-million mark.<br />

It’s the contact I love. It’s stimulating to<br />

meet people, to discuss their needs and help<br />

find the answers. Janette Bonner<br />

the new twilight segment’s<br />

share of the workplace<br />

has literally doubled in<br />

the last 15 years and is<br />

expected to continue<br />

growing, as the 63+ age<br />

group look for ways to top<br />

up their depleted super<br />

funds, or simply keep busy<br />

long after the traditional<br />

retirement age.<br />

the Federal<br />

government’s<br />

recent commitment<br />

to contribute $10 million<br />

in funding to encourage<br />

employers to hire more<br />

mature-aged jobseekers<br />

will likely contribute<br />

further to a rapid growth<br />

in ‘twilighters’.<br />
