“…The difference in the extent of involvement in unpaid activities across the pathways appears to result from continuities in unpaid activities during the period observed, as certain individuals were continuously more likely to engage in unpaid activities. Our findings, which indicate stability in patterns of unpaid activities over 15 years in mid to later life within latent groups, corroborate with previous research showing state dependence in unpaid activities in later life (Di Gessa and Grundy, 2017; Vangen et al , 2021).…”

Policy responses to population ageing have focused on lengthening working lives, overlooking inequalities in older adults’ participation in unpaid activities. This paper examines participation in paid and unpaid activities between the ages of 55 and 70 to answer two questions: how do people navigate pathways of paid work, informal care, volunteering, civic participation and housework in mid to later life?; and how do these pathways relate to gender, socio-economic and health inequalities? Two-staged latent class analysis was used to identify activity pathways using data from the British Household Panel Survey (1996–2008). Multinomial logistic models assessed associations between latent pathways and socio-demographic and health characteristics. Three pathways were observed: full-time work to low activity (49%), part-time and in-home work (34%) and multiple activities (16%). Aside from retirement from full-time work, the pathways of participation in paid and unpaid activities were characterised by continuity; substitution between different forms of paid and unpaid work was not observed. Participation in multiple paid and unpaid activities was more common for respondents in better health and of higher socio-economic status. Since the promotion of paid work and volunteering in later life may mainly benefit individuals in advantaged circumstances, policies should avoid taking a blanket approach to encouraging participation in multiple activities, a key component of active ageing.

Currently, in addition to social skills, the new changes in work contexts also consider the level of commitment and efficiency within organizations as a priority. In this sense, the objective of this article is to establish a relationship between interpersonal skills and work commitment or "engagement" in the administrative personnel of police and military origin of a judicial institution in Lima-Peru. The study follows a quantitative, basic, correlational and cross-sectional approach methodology. The population was 228 workers belonging to a judicial institution in the city of Lima; In addition, the survey technique and a questionnaire were used for data collection. The instrument was validated by expert judgment and obtained a high level of reliability. The main result of the research was that interpersonal skills and work engagement have a moderate positive (Rho=0.665) and significant (ρ = 0.000) correlation. In conclusion, the null hypothesis is rejected and it is accepted that, at a higher level of interpersonal skills, the level of work commitment of workers will be higher.

“…Unpaid work is another important social activity for retired individuals, providing productivity functions [ 13 ]. Norwegian scholars [ 14 ] pointed out that unpaid work is more closely related to a part-time job or full retirement than full-time paid work. These types of work may be complementary and dynamically adjusted.…”

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the work status of retirees after retirement, especially focusing on self-employment and unpaid work. Data was taken and analyzed from the “Taiwan Health and Retirement Study,” a nationally representative sample of retired personnel aged 50–74 in 2015–2016. Four types of work status were classified after retirement: Fully retired, Paid work, Self-employment, and Unpaid work. Multinomial regression analysis was used to explore the factors related to participation in paid, self-employed, and unpaid work. Results show that pre-retirement occupation was significantly associated with paid work after retirement. For example, retirees in Taiwan who were employed by private enterprises or self-employed before retirement were more likely to engage in paid work after retirement than civil servants before retirement. Two other factors, namely pre-retirement job stress and work flexibility, prolong the careers of retired workers, especially in self-employment and unpaid work after retirement. Gender also significantly affects the choice of work after retirement. These findings can be used as a reference for future policies on the aging labor force.
