In an era of rapid
population ageing, many employment and social policies, practices
and attitudes that discourage work at an older age have passed
their sell-by date and need to be overhauled. They not only
deny older workers choice about when and how to retire but
are costly for business, the economy and society. If nothing
is done to promote better employment prospects for older workers,
the number of retirees per worker in OECD countries will double
over the next five decades. This will threaten living standards
and put enormous pressure on the financing of social protection
systems. To help meet these daunting challenges, work needs
to be made a more attractive and rewarding proposition for
older wokers. This report makes an important contribution
to establlishing a new agenda of age-friendly employment policies
and practices.
