Description
Older workers have long faced unique challenges in the workforce. Decades of diminished bargaining power, stagnant wage growth, diminishing returns to additional years of work, and increasingly strenuous and dangerous jobs have contributed to widespread economic insecurity among older workers. These problems have been exacerbated by the inadequacy of the care infrastructure to help older workers navigate both work and care responsibilities. This book explores the various barriers older workers face, such as age discrimination, skills gaps, and health issues. It emphasizes the need for targeted policies and programs that promote flexible work arrangements, continuous learning, and age-friendly workplace environments and discusses how leveraging the skills and experiences of older employees can contribute to economic growth and innovation.
