Helping Employers Become Age-ready
View through CrossRef
Demographic evidence suggests that by 2050, almost one quarter of the world’s population will be over the age of 60. Many of these people over 60 will still be at work to finance their longer lifetimes. We examine how living longer is likely to influence people’s decisions to work for longer; how the nature of changes to work itself will influence future work, workers, and the workplace; how employers can benefit from retaining older workers; and ultimately, what employers can do to achieve a competitive advantage from the changing demographics.
