The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) was enacted by Congress in 1968 to "promote employment of older persons based on their ability rather than age; to prohibit arbitrary age discrimination in employment; to help employers and workers find ways of meeting problems arising from the impact of age on employment." Although the intent of the ADEA was to ban age discrimination, influential research by Lazear (1979) pointed out that the law may have had other consequences that benefited currently older workers but impaired efficiency. In Lazear's model, with efficient long-term incentive contracts ("Lazear contracts"), older workers earn more than their marginal product and more than their reservation wage, whereas younger workers earn less than their marginal product. Thus this model can generate rising age-earnings profiles even if age-productivity profiles are flat or declining. But the model also provides insight into the potential effects of age discrimination laws. Specifically, because older workers earn more than their reservation wage, an implication of prohibiting involuntary retirement based on age is that older workers "will enjoy a small once-and-for-all gain at the expense of a much larger and continuing efficiency loss that affects all workers and firms adversely" (Lazear 1979, pp. 1283-84).'

Personal resource systems define the quality of daily living, shaping personal well-being, societal satisfaction and overall quality of life. This study explores the construct of such systems through the emerging concept of Personal Resource Systems Management (PRSM) and models that concept for future research, consideration and debate. It is a qualitative exercise in grounded theory, a demonstration of integrative, interdisciplinary scholarship and a contribution to interactive practice in resource management, a subject matter specialty of Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS). As such the proposed PRSM model advances the stated goal of FCS practice to "promote optimal well-being of families, individuals and communities." Specifically, a PRSM model within the context of FCS should.
• describe person-environment interaction
• as well as aggregates thereof (family and community) and
• identify diverse daily impacts on the quality of living, personal well-being, societal satisfaction and overall quality of life
• by modeling a consistent system of multiple options, each with a clear solution
