| Annotation | The Group of Twenty (G20) is the premier forum for global economic and financial cooperation, bringing together the world's major advanced and emerging economies. This paper focuses on tensions between G20 economic agendas and Australian government policy of increasing older workforce participation. Initially the paper looks at the context of global demographic ageing and older workforce participation trends. It then examines the consequences of G20 directions for economic restructuring and trade liberalisation for older workforces, followed by an analysis of Australian government policy responses. The paper concludes with a discussion of the seminal concept of `structural lag' in gerontology and misalignments between ageing demography, older workforce participation and G20 economic directions.
