Abstract

This paper compares an extended Meaning of Work framework with findings from a qualitative research project of employment retention among older women working in aged care. While there are majors areas of commonality there are also some specific points of contrast. This suggests that there are important issues relevant to the aged care sector needing particular consideration in the design of future research.
