This is a study of a generation of women who are about to enter the
climacteric period of their life, the menopause. Born between the years
1946 and 1956 they have been the object of continuous scrutiny by various
interest groups. Because they are seen to be unique, many acronyms and
titles, the most noted being the 'Baby Boomers' have been attached to
them. The women of this generation have been classed as a Very active'
generation, leaving a clear mark on society and the re-emerging women's
movement. As they near menopause they are approaching a stage that
could be seen as their last reproductive transition. For many women
there is no cultural ritual, nor a single story to guide them through this
period They are however not without advice. The 'big voices' of the
drug companies, the medical system and the media, all tender their
guidance as the dominant voice. These women have been told what to
do by experts throughout their whole lives. It seems 'expert advice' on
their reproductive phases have been penned mostly by men in the
interests of treating, controlling and saving them. Control of their body
remains a key struggle, both physically and linguistically.
The purpose of the research was to study the expectations of this
post-war, Baby Boom generation of menopause. The study shows that
some women have made decisions to embrace non-medical help and
accept menopause as an inevitable transition, while others are willing to
consider medical help to enhance their 'quality of life '. Believing it is
time to look after themselves, it seems many women will take a
pragmatic view and accept medical opinion that the menopause is a
deficiency disease, even if this requires them to become part of the
consumer driven/drug company push for a 'symptom free' menopause.
They wish to remain untroubled and express a willingness to do
whatever they need to fulfil this. Their fervent hope is that the
menopause will not upset their career, family or 'life'. Consequently a
large majority of these women will think about or actively pursue
hormone replacement therapy.

The objectives of this research project were to (1) explore perceptions and experiences related to body dissatisfaction, aging, and the use of body work practices among baby boomer and older women; and (2) explore healthy eating attitudes and barriers, food choice influences, dieting behaviours, and food product usage/attitudes among these women. Fourteen focus groups with baby boomer and older women were conducted in urban and rural areas of Manitoba (n=137). Participants also completed a questionnaire and height and weight measurements. Body image, aging and food were intimately connected in women’s lives. Feelings about the body were closely connected to the experience of aging and perceptions of the body influenced food choices and attitudes. This thesis adds value to the existing literature by exploring the connections between aging, food, and the body, from the perspectives of baby boomer and older women.

Nutritional food label understanding (NFLU) in African American Women (AAW) is a philosophy that addresses obesity. Public health efforts have implemented nutritional and caloric information to packaged and restaurant foods to improve nutrient and calorie literacy. Research suggest NFLU might have a minimal effect on reducing obesity. However, it is not known how obese AAW born during the baby-boom era (51 to 64 years of age) perceive NFLU in relation to their dietary behaviors. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the lived experience of obese AAW regarding NFLU from a cognitive and behavioral perspective. Twelve, AAW answered 21-semi-structured questions that were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Findings of the study revealed the limited appreciation of NFLU in relation to healthy nutrition behaviors. Reasons for not applying nutritional food label (NFL) information centered on self-help perception, the time to read and understand the content on the NFL, skills required for effective NFL usage (math, organization of content), barriers to overcome while grocery shopping and motivational interest to change their behavior. In addition, the interviews of obese AAW revealed a lack of interest in NFL information while dining out despite understanding the perceived health benefits of knowing such information. Positive social change implications for obese AAW include improved nutrition literacy and nutritional behavior using NFLU as the guide to healthier dietary choice. From an individual, community, societal and nation level, reversing the trajectory of obesity through nutritional health literacy needs further improvement and individual adoption to possibly assist with obesity self-management.

The research presented in this thesis investigates how the ‘Baby Boomer generation’ has become constructed as a social problem in Britain. I begin by outlining the theoretical orientation of the research, which is grounded in Mannheim’s understanding that the problem of generations is to do with the interaction between generational location and wider social forces. The subsequent chapters present the results of a qualitative media analysis of the Baby Boomer problem, using a sample of British national newspaper articles published between 1986 and 2011 to examine the development of a cultural script. These chapters outline, first, the main features of the Baby Boomer problem as it is currently presented, before moving on to analyse how the cultural script has, over time, constructed the Boomer generation in two main ways: as an economic problem, and as a cultural problem. My findings indicate that both the attributes of the Baby Boomer generation, and the importance attached to generation as a political or social category, have changed over time, and are affected by wider political, social, and cultural shifts. This has a number of implications for how we think about the construction of the problem of generations in the present day.

Most individuals spend more than half their lives as single due to divorce, widowhood, and remaining single (Simpson, 2016). Singlehood, in general, has meant not being in a heterosexual relationship. Historically, lesbian women have been considered single because their relationships were not legally recognized. Single women and lesbian women have had more choices to live outside heterosexual marriage, financially and with social acceptability, in the later portion of the 20th century and in the early 21st century than previously. Single sexual minority women of the baby boom came of age during this time and are beginning to plan for and enter into old age. This study used qualitative methods to study how single sexual minority women of the baby boom cohort defined family and planned for their later years. Women from the baby boom cohort who are currently single and identify as a sexual minority were connected to their family of origin and extended families in their youth, focused on romantic relationships during adulthood, and currently identify their family as biological and chosen family. The women had formal and informal plans for their future as they continue to age. Limitations, future directions, and implications are also discussed.Ph. D.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
This exploratory qualitative study seeks to describe and understand the career decision-making process of unemployed American women who make up the younger cohort of the baby boom generation, namely those born between 1955 and 1964. Career decision making is a complex process involving a number of generational characteristics as well as personal and economic considerations. Unemployment further complicates this process, especially in the decade prior to receiving retirement benefits. This study uses interpretative phenomenological analysis to analyze semi-structured interviews with eight unemployed younger baby boom women to investigate how their thoughts, assumptions, and opinions affect their career decision-making experience. Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model (2005), Erikson's lifespan theory (1959), and selected career development theories provide lenses through which these women's experiences can be understood. Eight themes emerged from the data, including the following: unemployment as a preparation period; career aspirations; digital natives; age discrimination; bioecological systems influence; generativity vs. stagnation; identity expressed in career decision making; and influence of intuition, chance, and personal factors. The findings suggest that the women used the period of unemployment to become self-aware and thoughtful about future career decision making, and enhance their computer as well as career decision making skills. Implications for theory and counseling practice as well as suggestions for future research are provided.School of Education;

The purpose of this study was to examine the financial portfolios of near-retiree women and compare their assets to near-retiree men. This study also investigated how economic and demographic factors were associated with the probability of holding aggressive assets and the level of savings. Socioeconomic variables were used to create a profile of the investment behaviors and to examine the level of savings among near-retiree women and men. Specific variables key to the study included household income, age, marital status, education, race, and self-reported health of near-retiree women and men.
The descriptive statistics indicated that overall, average levels of all asset categories for the female group were much lower than they were for the male group among near-retirees. According to the findings of this study, women tended to invest in safer assets such as CDs, savings bonds, and T-bills rather than in more aggressive assets such as stocks, business assets, and real estate assets.
The results from both the logistic regression and Ordinary least squares regression analyses indicated that gender had no statistically significant impact on the investment and savings behavior among near-retirees aged 51 - 64. However, household income, age, marital status, education, race, and the self-reported health status of near-retirees were all significant determinants of the investment and saving behavior among near-retirees aged 51 - 64. For example, near-retirees, with higher income, older, married, higher education, Whites, and in good health, were more likely to own aggressive assets and reported higher level of savings as compared to other near-retirees.
This study also explored socioeconomic factors associated with the level of savings among near-retiree women aged 51 - 64. The findings of this study indicated that household income, age, education, and race were significant determinants of the level of savings among near-retiree women aged 51 - 64. The results of the OLS regression analysis showed that women with lower income, younger, less education, and non-Whites reported lower levels of savings than did other women. Implications of the findings, limitations of the current study, and suggestions for future study were presented in the final section. (88 pages)

With an increasing proportion of older people in the Australian population and increasing health and longevity, paid work after the age of 65 years may become an option or a necessity in the future. The focus of this research is on Australian women of the baby boom generation, their working futures, and the work-retirement decision. This is explored both from the viewpoint of women and from a social policy perspective. The research draws on Considine�s model of public policy, futures studies, and Beck�s concept of risk society. The research comprises three studies. Using focus group research, Study 1 explored the views of Australian women of the baby boom generation on work after the age of 65 years. Study 2 aimed to explore current thinking on the research topic in Australia and overseas. Computer-mediated communication involving an Internet website and four scenarios for the year 2020 were used for this study. Study 3 consists of the analysis of quantitative data from the Healthy Retirement Project, focusing on attitudes towards retirement, retirement plans, and the preferred and expected age of retirement. The importance of choice and a work � life balance emerged throughout the research. Women in high-status occupations were found to be more likely to be open to the option of continuing paid work beyond age 65 than women in low-status jobs. However, the women were equally likely to embrace future volunteering. The research findings suggest that policies for an ageing female workforce should be based on the values of inclusiveness, fairness, self-determination, and social justice, and address issues of workplace flexibility, equality in the workplace, recognition for unpaid community and caring work, opportunities for life-long learning, complexity and inequities of the superannuation system, and planning for retirement. Further, providing a guaranteed minimum income for all Australians should be explored as a viable alternative to the current social security system.

Recent literature shows an increased interest in generational differences among the workforce, particularly in Western societies. This has coincided with a focus on the role of women as successful leaders in the workplace. Despite this, the exploration and understanding of generational differences amongst female leaders in organisations has received limited attention, particularly in the South African context. The main purpose of the study was therefore to explore whether generational differences among women have an influence on how they approach leadership roles in a South African context. The study also sought to examine whether there are differences in gender identity across the generations as a result of socialisation. The study adopted a qualitative, life histories methodological approach to address the research purposes. Semi structured interviews were conducted with nine South African women in leadership positions from both the Baby Boomer and Generation X generational cohorts. The two generational cohorts were selected as they make up the majority of the current workforce while also being more likely, due to their age, of occupying leadership positions. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, and were imported into Atlas.ti for data analysis. The findings indicated that mothers played a dominant role in the socialisation of women, while fathers were significantly less present in the women’s stories. In terms of the effect of socialisation on career and leadership expectations, Baby Boomers were taught that they should be ‘stay-at-home-mothers’ and after having raised their children could then begin their careers. Generation X believed that they could be career women just as easily as ‘stay-at-home-mothers’. Despite both generations favouring a transformational approach to leadership, each generation differed in the way it practiced leadership. Baby Boomers led in a shared, structured and empowering manner, whereas Generation Xs focused on being attentive, unlocking potential, identifying talents of followers, and assisting in the growth and development of followers within their leadership approach.Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2013.

As the vanguard generation of rapid population ageing in Australia, Baby Boomers have represented a substantive challenge to government policy makers. Increasing older labour force participation has been promoted as the preeminent policy initiative most likely to reduce the labour force shrinkage and increased fiscal demand likely to be caused by the retirement of this disproportionately large generation. This “one size fits all” policy does not, however, sufficiently consider the significant diversities within the Baby Boomer generation. The systems approach guiding this research clusters environmental influences around the subjective experiences of labour force participation recounted by Australian Baby Boomer women. Nine research questions directed the data collection, analysis and findings of this thesis that populate a systems framework and underpin the discussion and conclusion. An analysis of data from key policy documents provides a clear overview of the aims and objectives of policy seeking to increase older labour force participation. Census and HILDA data is analysed to establish a quantitative context that identifies factors implicated in the divergence of labour force participation patterns for Baby Boomer men and Baby Boomer women. Primary data obtained from semi structured interviews of the Baby Boomer women respondents from North West Adelaide provides insight into experiences at the individual (micro) level and that reflect the effects of elements at national (meso) and global (macro) levels. This research found that several factors constrained the ability of Baby Boomer women to comply with policy urging increased older labour force participation. Notwithstanding generally accepted correlations between qualification levels and older labour force participation, both the timing and type of qualification are likely determinants of older labour force participation among Baby Boomer women. It also found that, whilst marital status has often been linked to higher financial wellbeing amongst older women, links between marital status and labour force participation were most often associated with changes in marital status over the life course. The effects of competing policies such as those promoting family based provision of care and those supporting a ‘laissez faire’ economy were found to frustrate the aims of policies targeting increased older labour force participation by women. In the case of many Baby Boomer women this policy discord can be directly linked to the obstruction of pathways to labour force participation and statuses that might enhance future financial self-sufficiency. The findings of this thesis urge deeper consideration of the impacts of this policy for Baby Boomer women specifically and older women generally.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Social Sciences, 2019

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)As an intrinsic part of everyday life, risk plays a key role in shaping decision-making and outcomes in older age. Some of the most important decisions and choices that individuals will face relate to later life and whether to remain living in the home or, alternatively, moving into residential aged-care. These decisions become more complex within the contexts of housing unaffordability, changing social and family structures, and rapidly shifting welfare and aged-care policy contexts. Drawing on Beck’s risk society, structural individualisation, and person-environment (PE-fit) this qualitative study examined older women’s housing and social circumstances, and their plans and expectations for housing and support.

A qualitative research method of "semi-structured in-depth interviews" is employed in this study, to explore the self-cognition and coping strategies for successful aging of the baby boomers generation retired women in financial sector. By using in-depth interviews, the researcher has collected four interviewees’ data regarding the contents of aging, self-cognition on facing role changes, and coping strategies on facing role changes and aging. Data was then analyzed using content analysis method. The main findings of this study are as follows: 1. The contents of aging for successful aging of the baby boomers generation retired women in financial sector consists of four parts, namely, (a) their self-aging experiences; (b) the previous generation’s aging experiences; (c) attitudes toward aging; (d) and their imagination of aging. 2. The self-cognition on facing role changes for successful aging of the baby boomers generation retired women in financial sector consists of three phases, (a) the preretirement phase, included: financial preparation, mental preparation, living arrangement, cultivate an habit, and re-employment; (b) the honeymoon phase, included: actions to achieve their dreams; relax and enjoy life, learn new things, maintain good family relationships, make new friends, and the continuation of a sense of accomplishment; (c) the disenchantment phase, included eight items, namely, health and autonomy, financial self-reliance, life adjustment, family relationships, social interpersonal relationships, learn growth, productivity, and spiritual attribution. 3. The coping strategies on facing role changes and aging for successful aging of the baby boomers generation retired women in financial sector consists of one stage in the reorientation phase, and includes eight dimensions, namely, health and autonomy, financial self-reliance, life adjustment, family relationships, social interpersonal relationships, learn growth, productivity, and spiritual attribution. Suggestions drawn from the findings are provided to those who are ready to retire, retirees, the human resources unit of employment organizations, and the labor-related units of government department, aimed to aid in personal retirement plan, promote quality of life for retirees, enhance retirees’ contribution to the society, and to reduce the usage of public welfare resources.
