| Annotation | A qualitative study in Scotland explored, in some depth, older employees' preferences and expectations regarding work and retirement; this article reports the findings. Many expected to continue working; but various barriers frustrated those expectations, especially over-rigidity in employers' approaches. The research highlighted the diversity of factors that played a part, including gender, size of employing organisation, and health. The potentially minimal impact of the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations coming into force in October 2006 is explored, and a holistic approach to the employment of workers - whether younger or older - is urged.
