| Annotation | This paper introduces the processes and manifestations of population ageing and how this relates to the changing age structure of the labour force. It presents demographic evidence regarding variations in age-specific participation in the labour force. Sections on age and performance in work, and stereotypes about older workers aim to dispel the myths and misconceptions as to older workers' capabilities. Lastly, a literature review presents summaries of UK primary research on attitudes towards older workers published since 1990. While these empirical research findings are largely consistent, they imply inconsistent consequences for the most efficient use of the population's work skills. This research is one of a number of projects commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on behalf of the Age Partnership Group (APG) as part of the National Guidance Campaign (NGC).
