New research suggests more and more Australians are becoming more comfortable with working past retirement age – for better or worse.

Amazon representative Michelle Hardie told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings shifting lifestyles, better health outcomes and changes in social interaction are all contributing factors.

“Financial security is absolutely a priority, but they’re also looking to use their skills and knowledge; they want to stay active for a sense of purpose,” Ms Hardie said.
