The aim of this study was to understand how post-retirement transitions back into paid work were experienced by mature age workers. Narrative research methodology was used to explore how 18 mature age workers, in the Australian context, experienced their transitions. The main findings of this study were that all participant narratives revealed three metaphorical quilting points: Having Purpose, Having Agency, and Being Visible. | en_US |
