A study done in Japan concluded that women outlived men drastically in their old-age due to the harsh work culture found in Japan. Many of these women experienced increased social isolation and depression due to their loss of a partner and resorted to petty theft and jail time so that they could live within community within their incarceration. Similar to women in Japan, female Americans are also experiencing a similar dilemma due to the lack of community and knowledge that aging takes on them. Karen is looking to reach the 11,120 Americans that are retiring from their current jobs every day that are then looking for a passion and direction after their retirement. Much of the United States and those around the world are experiencing a great demographic of their community is "graying," although, not many know how to accept or adapt to their newfound path in life in a positive manner.
