Annotation	This report is based on the Learning and Work in Later Life Project carried out by the Centre for Research into the Older Workforce (CROW) and funded by the Nuffield Foundation. It examines the claim that training might help extend average working life and raise workforce skills levels in response to demographic change. Set against the backdrop of rising life expectancy and a shrinking population of 'working age', the report highlights the need for employers and employees to be aware of the risks demographic change can bring. It makes recommendations relating to these two key policy concerns: how to best respond to an aging society; and how to ensure an adequate labour force and skills base in the face of growing global competition.
