| 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 focuses on job design for an older workforce as part of the framework. It begins with descriptive information and statistics on older workers. It considers their lives outside the workplace, and the nature of their work-life tensions. It reviews their orientations to work and their attitudes to employment and retirement, before considering employers' perspectives on older workers. Questions of job design for an older workforce look at job structure, the organisational culture, and personnel and workforce planning. A final section identifies public policy issues. (KJ/RH). |
