| Annotation | The direction and implications of current and possible future trends in workplace age integration in the US are discussed. If current trends were to continue for the next 20 years, we would not expect much change in labour force participation patterns of older workers. However, there is good reason to expect that some of the trends supporting early retirement may change in the next few years in favour of greater participation by older people in the work force: the increased proportion of those with higher educational attainment; changes in social security; and the improved health of successive age groups. This is one of a series of eleven essays originally presented at sessions on age integration at both the International Sociological Association meeting in Montreal and the American Sociological Association meeting in San Francisco in 1998, and also adapted from a working paper issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) in May 1999.
