A total of 3.2 million elderly
Italians work regularly or from time to time and the majority
enjoy it, a study showed on Tuesday.
The report by research institute CENSIS and Future Concept
Lab found that a further 225,000 elderly people are preparing to
look for work in coming years and 407,000 will try to start an
independent business.
Furthermore, 84.5% of those surveyed for the report viewed
their life positively at the moment. A total of 48.6% of
respondents were very or quite satisfied with their work because
it pleased them, while 35.9% were satisfied but wanted to work
more or do different things.
The survey also revealed a trend for elderly people to
develop new activities, projects and relationships. About 6.6
million elderly Italians go to restaurants, 6 million go to the
cinema, theatre or museums, 4.8 million play betting games, 3.1
million travel abroad and 2.8 million attend dancing courses.
