| Annotation | Faced with economic uncertainty and declining retirement security, older adults have increasingly tried to remain in or return to the workforce in recent years. Unfortunately a host of factors, such as ageism and changing skill requirements, present challenges for older adults seeking employment. Low income older adults in particular may lack necessary education and skills and have limited access to job opportunities and training. In this review, the authors looked at factors that inhibit and support employment for low-income older adults. They also explored the role of social work in facilitating their inclusion in the workforce. (JL). |
