Annotation | This paper follows Tikkanan's (2008) lead in arguing for an integrated and holistic approach to two distinct and parallel discourses in policy and research, namely on 'older workers' and lifelong learning. It suggests that the concept of Work Ability, first introduced in Finland more than 30 years ago, should be adopted within UK policymaking as a method to improve older people's employability, health and well-being in the workplace. Further, such an approach can act as a lever to broadening and increasing the participation in workplace training and other forms of learning for 'older workers'. (RH). |
