This article theorises older ethnic minority women’s work attitudes and labour market behaviour from an intersectional cumulative perspective within the extended working lives contexts. Empirical evidence has been drawn from interviews with South Asian British Muslim women aged between 50 and 66 living in Greater Manchester, UK. The findings show that the cohort’s ageing process is asynchronous with the British work ageing outlook as their cultural understanding of working age, age roles and successful ageing defies the extended working lives philosophies, and cumulative factors including caring responsibilities, legacy inequalities, and health issues present additional challenges for extending their work lives. Their culture- and context-specific work ageing process remains absent in the UK’s labour market discourse and policy landscape. The article theorises their idiosyncratic work ageing including non-conformist attitudes to extending work lives by proposing a ‘divergent work ageing’ model that can guide policymakers in creating inclusive labour market policies.

“不同的工作老龄化”和老年移民的（未）延长工作年限

本文从延长工作寿命背景下的交叉累积角度对老年少数民族妇女的工作态度和劳动力市场行为进行了理论分析。经验证据来自对居住在英国大曼彻斯特的 50 至 66 岁南亚裔英国穆斯林女性的采访。研究结果表明，该群体的老龄化过程与英国的工作老龄化前景不同步，因为他们对工作年龄、年龄角色和成功老龄化的文化理解违背了延长工作寿命的理念，以及包括照顾责任、遗留不平等和健康问题在内的累积因素延长他们的工作寿命的额外挑战。他们的文化和特定背景的工作老龄化过程在英国劳动力市场话语和政策环境中仍然不存在。文章对他们独特的工作老龄化现象进行了理论分析，包括对延长工作寿命的不墨守成规的态度，提出了一种“不同的工作老龄化”模型，可以指导政策制定者制定包容性的劳动力市场政策。
