Description
The Future for Older Workers: New Perspectives This book brings together leading researchers and writers to explore the issue of older workers in mature industrial and post-industrial economies. It focuses on various measures taken by governments and employers to foster the employment of older workers, including policies in Britain, mainland Europe, the US, and Japan. The authors address key issues that will influence public policy, such as what workers over 50 want, the impact of the ageing workforce on employer policies, and the implications for governments promoting extended working lives. This volume is aimed at academics, students, policymakers, and professionals interested in contemporary social policy, sociology of ageing, and human resource management. The book will also be of interest to older workers themselves, providing valuable insights into their experiences and needs.
