| Annotation | The unprecedented ageing of the world's population challenges many institutions, including labour markets and public pension programmes. This US study was conducted to survey expert opinions regarding conditions and policies that affect employment of older adults. Eighty-nine respondents from 26 nations responded to an internet survey regarding their own experiences with the ageing labour force; factors that encouraged or discouraged labour force participation of older adults; and government responses to these issues. Respondents identified barriers to employment of older adults and described their governments' responses. Findings illuminate a range of current policy options and suggest possible opportunities for innovation. (KJ/RH). |
