This is a very interesting survey by an organization called Next Avenue, which focuses on older adult issues and research. It seems that higher education should spend more time thinking about and creating programs for adults in the post 50 year old range. There is going to be more demand for not only courses to increase new job related skill, but also for programs related to "third wave" life styles. This might include skills needed in new volunteer opportunities, new part time employment in retirement, or intellectual pursuits that one has always wanted to do but never had the time while working.
