Sociology
The ‘third age’ of the life course is said to involve:
active non-work and independence after retirement
full time employment, family-building and adult responsibility
illness, isolation and increasing dependence on others
the transition from education to work, and distinctive youth cultures
active non-work and independence after retirement
Sociologists often talk about the ‘life course’ rather than a rigid, universal ‘life cycle’ of stages that everyone will pass through. The stages of the life course generally include childhood, youth, adolescence, adulthood, middle age and old age. As people are living longer, it is argued that a ‘third age’ has emerged between middle age and old age, in which people have retired from work but remain active and independent. 459-463
