| Annotation | Trends in the Australian labour market indicate that the nature and extent of work will continue to change into the next century, creating obstacles and opportunities for the employment of older workers. Current labour market programmes are viewed as inadequate to meet the employment needs of older adults. The authors discuss the impact of the labour market on the employment of older adults, and argue that employers need to change their employment practices, in order to employ and retain older workers in the work place. The importance of the employment specialist in this process is outlined. Recommendations are made regarding the role of employment specialists in terms of promoting the employment and retention of older adults. |
