    • Abstract:
      There are more older workers who are women and people of color in the American workforce than ever before. Advances in technology and medicine have allowed older workers to remain in the workforce longer, even as older workers continue to be challenged with chronic illness, mental distress (e.g., anxiety and depression), and fallout from COVID-19. In this article we discuss how understanding the various and interconnected ways in which our social identities enable or constrain our lives--also called using an intersectional lens--will help promote long, healthy, and productive lives for everyone.
