SECTION 3
 
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 28 
— 40, which are based on Reading 
Passage 3 below: 
The Gray Worker
A. The 21st century may be known as the era of lifelong learning and lifelong working. 
Retirement, the end stage of a linear working life, may be replaced with a learning, 
working, leisure, life cycle. Full-time work may be interspersed with periods of flexible 
working arrangements such as part-time, seasonal, occasional, and project work. The 
traditional notion of retirement may be replaced with lifelong working-in various positions 
and in varying amounts of time throughout adult life. In the future, a declining birthrate 
may result in a shortage of skilled and knowledgeable employees, making the notion of 
retirement for older workers a serious drain on organizational productivity. Increasing 
demands for workforce productivity, a projected shortage of skilled and experienced 
workers, and older adults who are healthier and living longer than previous generations 
are powerful societal forces shaping future employment practices. 
B. Two decades ago, Sheppard and Rix forecast the changing nature of the workplace 
and suggested that keeping older persons in the workforce would make sound economic 
and social policy sense. The trend toward longer periods of employment is beginning to 
become evident. Forced retirements and early retirement incentives have contributed to 
the decline of expertise in the workplace. Inflation, increasing health care costs, and 
inadequate pensions are propelling older adults to remain in or reenter the workforce 
past the traditional retirement age. Retirement as permanent separation from the 
workplace is being replaced with the idea of bridge employment. Bridging is a form of 
partial retirement in which an older worker alternates periods of disengagement from the 
workplace with periods of temporary, part-time, occasional, or self-employed work. The 
key aspect of bridging is that it is work in other than a career job. In the US, among 
workers age 60, more than 50percent retire from a career job but only one in nine actually 
disengages from the workplace. Bridging allows older workers to "practice" retirement,
