Abstract

In this paper life satisfaction of highly qualified professionally achieving (HQPA) aging women post retirement is investigated. Respondents were 306 HQPA older women who were surveyed in the city of Mumbai. The Satisfaction with Life scale, Silver Lining Questionnaire and Meaning in Life Questionnaire were used. Results showed variations on life satisfaction as a result of certain independent socio-demographic variables and the type of careers that HQPA women retired from. Findings have relevance for designing and promoting different types of activity engagement for HQPA older women. This is a move away from the solely poverty focused approach to addressing issues of aging population in India. Implications for practice with HQPA older women have also been discussed.
