Which term describes adults who participate in part-time or flexible work arrangements among older workers?

• A. Bridge workers
• B. Career continuers
• C. Resuscitation
• D. Older adults in the workforce

Answer: (A)

This item is about the term used for older adults who stay engaged in work through part-time or flexible arrangements as they move toward retirement. The situation is described as bridge employment, and a person in this stage is called a bridge worker. Bridge employment is a transitional form of work that helps maintain income, social connections, and a sense of purpose while stepping back from a full-time career. It typically involves reduced hours, flexibility, or a change to a less demanding role rather than leaving work altogether.

Other options are less precise for this scenario: career continuers refer more generally to older workers who keep working, not necessarily in a part-time or flexible arrangement; older adults in the workforce is a broad label that doesn’t specify the transitional, flexible nature; resuscitation is unrelated to work concepts.
