Book excerpt: Latest version: May 2010. Careers are shortening and lives are lengthening - how can we keep our careers going as long as we do? In a global market of decreasing product and industry life cycles, and increasing competition, two powerful forces are pulling in opposite directions: the need to extend our careers to fund our growing longevity is set agaist the aspirations of a bulge of 1960s baby boomers to fill a shrinking number of management positions. This book takes a wry, detached look at the global commercial and demographic forces driving our emerging career patterns, and proposes what we should do now. www.career-crunch.com
