Prof. Mary Dean Lee: How Baby Boomers and employers are reshaping retirement
A research team led by Prof. Mary Dean Lee of the Desautels Faculty of Management has spent the past four years examining how attitudes and approaches toward retirement are shifting as the oldest Baby Boomers turn 65 and companies prepare for their exodus from the workforce.
