Abstract

Two-hundreds college students and two-hundreds senior citizens from a local senior citizen class(total 400 respondents) were asked to decide, the onset ages of the three life stages, - young adulthood, middle age, and old age (manhood and womanhood, respectively) and the appropriate ages for employment and retirements. Data had shown that older respondents tend to delay the onsets of the middle age and old age comparing with the younger respondents. This means the older people have motivation to be treated younger and evade the social stereotype toward the old ages. In addition to that, the appropriate ages for employment and retirement were evaluated.
