Opis

As populations age in countries across the world, the maintenance of welfare and social security systems will depend on the prolonged, productive employment of older workers. However, not much is known about the factors that determine whether--and how--older adults work. With "Prolonged Employment of Older Workers," Kasia Karpinska helps fill in the gap. This timely study explores the managerial attitudes and worker characteristics that influence managers' decisions to hire, train, and retain older employees. In the process, it suggests possible solutions to a problem that weighs heavily on many nations.
