This is not to say that money is the only reason older Americans might opt for employment. employ-ment. There are also issues of self worth and psychological well being. People are living longer and the proportion of the population popula-tion over age 65 is rapidly increasing in-creasing making post retirement employment a significant issue. According to USU College of Family Life researcher Laura S. Biswas, up until 1986 the proportion propor-tion of the work force age 65 or older had gradually declined for 20 years.Since 1986 there has been a gradual increase. This is a trend that could have a significant sig-nificant influence on social security and the workplace in general if it continues. Her research is part of a larger study done in cooperation with the USU College of Family Life and Agricultural Experiment Station by Dr. Joan McFadden. The original study focused on housing and location decision of the maturing population. Biswas says in this study about 44 percent of the respondents respon-dents (most in their early 50's) Volunteers needed The Mental Retardation Association As-sociation of Utah (MRAU) is looking look-ing for committed volunteers to serve as patient advocates in the community and at the Utah State Developmental Center in American Fork. "there is a real need for volunteers volun-teers to befriend an individual resident at the Developmental Center and at groups homes in the community and to ensure that the resident's needs and rights are being met," said Mary Grit-ton, Grit-ton, president of MRAU. Volunteer advocates are matched with one resident and then are asked to visit the resident resi-dent at least one time each month. The time is spent getting to know the client, as well as attending at-tending staff meetings regarding the resident's treatment. "Some of the residents have no family who live close enough to help monitor the care being said that they expected to work after retirement and 30 percent said they were undecided. She says this leaves only about 25 percent per-cent that said they definitely did notplan work after retirement. This indicates that there is a need for more retirement planning, plan-ning, but also that many people who will soon be going into retirement retire-ment will be seeking employment, employ-ment, Biswas says. She says according to most assessments as-sessments there is and will continue con-tinue to be a job market for people age 65 and older in a variety of positions in many fields. Unfortunately, Unfor-tunately, there isn't a very good ublic image for these workers, he only thing that comes to mind when most people think about employing the elderly are those McDonald's commercials depicting depict-ing the elderly in part-time work positions. In terms of who is more likely to seek employment after retirement retire-ment Biswas says men and people earning lower pre-retirement incomes were the most likely like-ly to anticipate working after age 65. Biswas and McFadden agree that the topic needs more study before it can be considered a trend. As the baby boom nears retirement, the social security system and the job market will be profoundly affected by this group's retirement plans. given," said Gritton. "In a way, volunteer advocates take on the role that a concerned family member might fulfill." Volunteers do not need to have any prior experience working work-ing with mentally retarded people, but it is helpful. Volunteers Volun-teers are asked to attend two evening eve-ning training sessions on Sept.22 and 30 at 7 p.m. The training sessions provide information on mental retarda: tion, the car giver, medication, the organizational structure of the State Developmental Center and group homes, the resident's basic human rights, as well as what the volunteer's job responsibilities respon-sibilities include.
