golden agers
Post-retirement demographic group
Golden agers are elderly people, typically those past retirement age.
The term casts old age in a positive light—the "golden years" as a time of leisure and fulfillment after decades of work.
It appears most often in marketing and community programming: The community center offers activities for golden agers.
The phrase can sound patronizing in some contexts.
