| Annotation | Research on information, advice and guidance (IAG) services for older workers in England is reviewed, setting out the arguments in targeting IAG services at older people in the context of extended working lives. The article reviews the evidence on how to provide services which meet the specific needs of older workers, whilst recognising the diversity of the 50+ age group. It also provides a case study of an age-sensitive IAG service. It concludes that demand for IAG from older workers needs to be stimulated, and that the role of IAG in helping older people to work and learn deserves greater recognition. (RH). |
