| Annotation | Following its research programme on "Transitions after Fifty", the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) has produced a framework to aid discussion of how changes in policy and practice can contribute to sustaining working lives. This is one of five discussion papers available from the Foundation's website and summarises a full report published by the University of Derby, Centre for Guidance Studies (http://www.derby.ac.uk/files/am_i_still_needed2005... Its preface makes ten key points affirming that training and lifelong learning should be truly lifelong and available to older age groups. The main part of the report covers: the economic, social and individual dimensions of third age under-employment; need for and provision of career guidance; lifelong learning and older adults; and the need for "joined-up" thinking and implementation. Key recommendations are made with regard to policy and practice on: "joined up" government strategies; reaching out to and involving older age groups; employment and the workplace; the skills agenda and lifelong learning; and guidance services.
