A Senior's Life

Reinventing Work In The 21st Century   by Sudhakar Ram

“Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart, give yourself to it” ~ Buddha

The job, as we knew it, is dead. That’s from Eamon Kelly of Global Business Network. I agree: we need to find new ways to think and talk about work.

The concept of the job was one of the stickiest ideas of the 20th century. Essentially invented by Henry Ford and other industrialists, the job gradually became synonymous with the timeless concept of toil. A job was not necessarily fun. It did not have to be rewarding. You put in your time and you got paid. Jobs were for life. Jobs were acquired, learned and performed until we retired. Obviously, those ideas are no longer valid.

Consequently, we need to change expectations, and better prepare our young people for the new world. Let’s look at two real-life examples. On one hand, take a bright graduate from IIT or IIM. Tell him that he has to earn a living, but he cannot take a full-time job. What are his or her chances of success?

Is that new graduate prepared to make his or her way without the prospect of traditional employment? In contrast, take a kid who may have failed SSC or HSC but has spent time behind the cash-counter of his or her father’s kirana shop. That kid is more likely to have the basic skills and mindset to be an entrepreneur or independent contractor or freelancer – and be better suited to survive in the new world where jobs are going the way of the dinosaurs.

The 21st century requires people who are useful, not just employable. Charles Handy came up with the idea of an inverted doughnut: the company’s core activities represent the doughnut and the hole represents various partners. Companies and governments are becoming flexible and agile by concentrating on their core activities and outsourcing the rest. It’s like when you build a web site: Put up what you do best, and link to the rest. Organizations today demand specialized partners who are experts in their own fields and are able to collaborate and co-create innovative outcomes.

Work, whether in a company or outside, demands far more creativity and mastery than traditional jobs. Fitting in, and delivering incremental improvements, is no longer good enough. Studies show that more than half the workers that UK companies use are not traditional employees. This trend is going to continue all over the world. Even if you are indeed an employee with a job description and set hours and a salary and benefits, today’s employer still expects you to be entrepreneurial. You are expected to come up with ideas and take initiative. Individuals need to step out of their comfort zones.

In the past, a degree from a reputed college was likely to guarantee life-long success. Now, this is at best just an entry permit – not a green card. Professionals and managers in the 21st century must constantly challenge their team members and themselves to deliver more with less. They need to take responsibility not only for outputs, but also for outcomes. In order to do so, they need the commitment and access to continuous learning. The 21st century worker is a perpetual learner, eager collaborator and a committed contributor.

We need to recognize that India, having skipped the Industrial Age, has always been different. Fewer than 6 percent of the 500 million workers in India are employed in the organized sector. Most of those employed are in the government or public sector. Close to 60 percent of Indian workers are in agriculture – mostly due to lack of alternate employment. Schemes like the National Rural Employment Guarantee program touch only around 10 percent of this segment.

How, then, do we empower and equip the Indian worker to be productive and gainfully employed in the 21st century?

First, we need to recognize that with 60% of our population in rural areas, we need to create employment opportunities closer to home for our youth. The 21st century is likely to see the emergence of the ‘Deep Economy’ as Bill McKibben calls it – the self sufficient village economy that Gandhi envisioned.

A cluster of villages produces food, goods and services largely based on local resources. Those local products and services are mostly consumed locally, reducing the need to pollute the environment with unnecessary transportation. Our governments – from local to regional to national – need to support this local economy with better village infrastructure and connectivity. One place to start would be to empower the Panchayats with adequate powers and funds.

Second, educational and research institutions need to focus on creating and supporting designers and innovators creating appropriate technologies based on renewable materials and energy sources. The focus needs to shift from using our educational degrees as passports to high-paying, investment banking type jobs. Instead, we need to focus on encouraging graduates perform meaningful work in their own chosen disciplines.

Third, private enterprise and public-private partnerships must provide all workers with just-in-time training in specific areas of work. We need to give people the chance to re-train themselves in new and emerging areas of work. Most people are going to be either self-employed or work in small organizations; basic business and financial skills should be imparted starting in school and continuing until joining the work force – and beyond.

Fourth, banks and financial institutions should probably operate through local front-end organizations to provide financial, accounting and other logistical support to small businesses. These front-end organizations would be both local and industry-specific to provide effective service to the businesses.

The Next Age – what I call the Connected Age – is likely to see a massive shift in the nature of corporations and, more importantly, the nature of work. Forget the Industrial Age paradigm of spending your whole life in a dull, meaningless job that employs only a part of you. Forget chasing a career that stresses you out. The children of tomorrow are likely to have the opportunity to pursue their true calling, looking at work as a means to fulfill one’s own dreams and making an impact on the world around us.

101 Businesses You Can Start at With Less Than One Thousand Dollars $21.95 According to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, people starting their working careers will face the following situation when they retire age at age 65: they will have annual incomes between $4,000.00 and $26,000.00. According to the Social Security Administration, today’s retirees can only count on corporate pensions and Social Security for 61 percent of their income at retirement. The remainder must come from other sources. If the same holds true in the future, todays workers need to accumulate enough in personal savings to make up a 39 percent shortfall in their retirement income. The solution for many after they have played enough golf and caught enough fish will be to start a small part-time business. Detailed in this new book are over 100 business ideas that can be started for very little money and yet may provide retired people with a lot more money than they would earn being paid by the hour. This is a collection of businesses selected especially for retirees who are interested in augmenting their income.

A Different Shade of Gray $53.31 Classic works by William Julius Wilson and Alex Kotlowitz have given Americans searing accounts of coming of age amid urban poverty. Now Katherine Newman, Kennedy School professor and author of No Shame in My Game, a book about the working poor that Publishers Weekly called eye-opening and bracingly refreshing, shifts our attention to the other end of the human life span, offering the first comprehensive look at aging in the inner city.While recent prosperity has allowed many to enjoy their old age in the comfort of retirement communities, a combination of historical circumstances, personal decisions, and changing public policy have conspired to keep another set of Americans locked in crumbling urban settings to age in place. How this happened and what it means are the questions at the center of this original and illuminating study.

A Greek Grammar of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature $67.93 This work was created by Friedrich Blass, professor of classical philology at the University of Halle-Wittenberg, and was continued after his death by Albert Debrunner, professor of Indo-European and classical philology at the University of Bern until his retirement in 1954. The grammar has passed through ten editions from 1896 to 1960. Robert W. Funk, in translating this long-established classic, has also revised it and, in doing so, has incorporated the notes which Professor Debrunner had prepared for a new German edition on which he was working at the time of his death in 1958. Dr. Funk has also had the co-operation of leading British, Continental, and American scholars. The translation places in the hands of English-speaking students a book that belongs in their libraries and in the libraries of every theologian, philologist and pastor alongside the Gingrich-Danker Greek-English Lexicon. This grammar sets the Greek of the New Testament in the context of Hellenistic Greek and compares and contrasts it with the classical norms. It relates to the New Testament language to its Semitic background, to Greek dialects, and to Latin and has been kept fully abreast of latest developments and manuscript discoveries. It is at no point exclusively dependent on modern editions of the Greek New Testament text but considers variant readings wherever they are significant. It is designed to compress the greatest amount of information into the smallest amount of space consistent with clarity. There are subsections discussing difficult or disputed points and copious citations of primary texts in addition to generous bibliographies for those who wish to pursue specific items further.

A New Day Has Come [Bonus DVD] [Sony] $18.99 Like politicians, pop superstars staging a comeback need to be on message, devising a story line and sticking to it from conception to completion. Celine Dion’s message is a simple one — one that would be evident to anybody paying the slightest bit of attention. After a ballyhooed semi-retirement following 1999′s semi-collection All the Way — a retirement where she gave birth and tended to her manager/husband’s recovery from cancer — it was time to begin a new chapter in her life, something made explicit in the title of the comeback, A New Day Has Come. Of course, the new day is the new chapter of Celine’s life — she’s still a caring, loving wife and mother, but she’s ready to return to music with a vigor, including a three-year stint as the main attraction at Caesars in Las Vegas. Life — or at least opportunists — has a way of interfering with even the best-laid plans, and the week A New Day Has Come hit the stores, it was revealed that Dion’s husband was the center of a dubious civil lawsuit claiming he raped a woman in Las Vegas in the late ’90s, but the delivery of the message was so strong, so well-conceived, that this barely made a dent in the media blitz (no mention of it in a USA Today cover story the day of release, for instance). No matter your musical taste, you have to admire that feat, and to a certain extent you have to admire the construction of this album, as well, since it’s about as perfect as it could be. That doesn’t mean it’s a perfect album, but it does exactly what it should do — it doesn’t deviate from Dion’s mainstream audience, yet it dips its toe into modern music, particularly dance, while subtly addressing her status as a working mom (which somehow translates as she’s a survivor), while keeping hip (“Nature Boy” at the end was surely included because of its prominence in Baz Luhrmann’s pandering swill, Moulin Rouge). It’s savvily sequenced, too, with the radio remix of the title track arriving before the original version! It’…

Aging Populations, Globalization and the Labor Market: Comparing Late Working Life and Retirement in Modern Societies $150 Hans-Peter Blossfeld, K. Kurz (Editor), S. Buchholz (Editor),Hardcover, English-language edition,Pub by Elgar, Edward Publishing, Inc.

Apart at the Seams: The Collapse of Private Pension and Health Care Protections $14.51 Throughout most of the past century, America, uniquely among industrial countries, assumed that private businesses would take primary responsibility for providing retirement security and health insurance to working-age people and their familiesan arrangement that became known as American welfare capitalism. That assumption has been put to the test by the fierce competitive onslaught on almost every major American industry that began in the 1970s and 1980s. In todays world of global competition, where prices are dictated by iron laws of marginalist economics, old traditions of employer-employee loyalties are a distant memory, and companies have been shedding benefit commitments as rapidly as possible. Apart at the Seams explores how this collapse of private sector retirement and health benefits came about and how it has affected the landscape of American social insurance. In making his case for reform, Morris examines the forthcoming strain on government benefit programs, the critical trends in American incomes and saving patterns, and the special features of the American health care system that make policy changes such a pressing concern. He argues that the question is not whether the American social insurance system must be fundamentally restructuredthat has been going on, willy-nilly, for the past few decadesbut rather whether there are reasonable paths to closing the gaping holes in the existing system without doing violence to the long-standing American disposition toward mixed-enterprise solutions.

Compensation Comparisons Between Sectors in Us $83.83 This work attempts to find evidence on the extent of the rent paid to public sector workers in the United States by comparing human capital returns between the public and private sector, controlling for selectivity bias. Using information from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS) for the period 1992-2000, I apply propensity score matching methods in order to obtain workers from both sectors comparable in terms of their propensity score or conditional probability of working in the public sector. Results show a wage premium paid to public sector workers ranging from 3.5 percent to 11.1 percent when controlling for union status, and from ?1.6 percent to 6 percent without controlling for union status. Wage differentials widen when adjusted for nonwage pecuniary benefits, with public sector workers enjoying relatively better jobs. In the presence of selectivity bias, the wage premium seems to be underestimated.

Daddy, Tell Us about When You Were a Little Boy: 89 Years and Most of Them Fun $31.95 Working alone, to start with, I filled three pages of legal pads with two columns per page with notes on events in my life. The title of the book came from the incessant questioning by my daughters for stories of my life, and of the lives of those near and dear to me. I have had an interesting series of events that carried me through prep school, three colleges (with two bachelor’s degrees), three WII essential engineering jobs, and close to three years as a U.S. Navy intelligence officer, over two years of which were in the Pacific. Initially, after nine years working as a mechanic, I began a career in 1947 as a contractor with a small business that my father turned over to me. This ended in 1988 when I sold my 82-year old business that had completed that year over $4 million worth of contracts. In retirement since 1988, my wife and I have spent the winters in a deluxe country club complex in Florida and our summers on our 11-acre farm in Connecticut. I played golf, spent afternoons in the condominium pool, and, following advice given to me by my dad’s brother, a doctor, I have a three-ounce martini every night to keep the blood thin and the heart relaxed.

I Have: An Educational Experience in Poland $12.95 A couple of US educators decided they would like to teach abroad following retirement, since they had a similar interesting experience in the UK in the 1980s. They saw an ad in a local paper and traveled to Warsaw, Poland to teach in an American International School. English was supposed to be spoken in the school, but actually very little was understood. Their situation was further complicated when they realized that unlike other European countries they have visited, little English was spoken.Bringing their collective 60-plus years of experience into a place where it could not be used, the teachers found themselves in situations where they had little control.They enjoyed the interaction with colleagues-foreign and native. They learned the intricacies of public transportation in Poland, marveled at the culture and the beauty of the rebuilt Polish cities, and learned to appreciate its intelligent and hard-working people.They were sometimes able to take trips to parts of Europe which were less-easily accessed European locales.

IRA Wealth: Revolutionary IRA Strategies for Real Estate Investment $17.95 For decades, banks and brokerage houses have effectively convinced us that IRA holdings can be invested only in stocks or bonds. Unfortunately, with the sharp decline in the stock market and the bottoming out of interest rates, most of us could only stand by and watch as our retirement savings lost their accumulated value. Few knew that there was a viable investment alternative that offered both safety and incredible growth. That alternative, which banks and stockbrokers don’t want you to know about, is real estate. That’s right. Contrary to what you may have believed, it is perfectly legal to hold real estate investments in an IRA account–and to enjoy unprecedented returns.Now you can learn the secrets of successfully buying, selling, or accumulating real estate products within your IRA account. For over ten years, IRA investment expert Patrick W. Rice has taught thousands of men and women his revolutionary strategies for using an IRA account to create wealth based upon real estate. In his new book, Mr. Rice shares these moneymaking strategies with you. He first teaches you how to turn your IRA into an account that can deal in real estate-oriented transactions. He then details the many ways in which real estate products can make you rich–including holding mortgages, acquiring notes, buying foreclosures, building shopping centers, and providing leases. Mr. Rice offers a wide variety of strategies for both the aggressive investor looking for high returns, and the conservative investor interested in a steady stream of income from a secured asset. And because IRAs provide a tax-free environment, your investments will earn you even more money.Although it may be a little late toavoid the volatility of the stock market, the lesson has been simple: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Patrick Rice now offers you an entirely new basket to consider–a basket that may, in fact, hold golden eggs for a bright and rewarding future. Here is a book that hard-working Am

Infinite Instances $50 Filmmaker Phillip Adams once said, Of all the big questions of existence… none impacts our daily lives more than the problem of time. The notion of time has always mystified and attracted the speculation of societies and civilizations. Each major stage of our lives is delineated by a construct of time: birth, death, marriage, retirement. Deadlines rule our working days and, increasingly, our leisure activities. Artist and designer Olga Ast, thanks to the contributions of approximately sixty international artists, writers, scientists, architects and filmmakers, has compiled in Infinite Instances an astounding compendium of studies of time.
