| Annotation | This report points to a compelling need for third-age guidance, and makes ten key points affirming that training and lifelong learning should be truly lifelong and available to older age groups, as observed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Career Guidance Policy Review (OECD, 2004). The main part of the report covers: the economic, social and individual dimensions of third age under-employment; need for and provision of career guidance; lifelong learning and older adults; and the need for "joined-up" thinking and implementation. Key recommendations are made with regard to policy and practice on: "joined up" government strategies; reaching out to and involving older age groups; employment and the workplace; the skills agenda and lifelong learning; and guidance services.
