Australians are living and working longer than ever before. But what does this mean for our ageing workforce? What issues do older workers face and how do employers view them? Unfortunately, negative stereotypes and flawed perceptions about older workers abound. In 'Age Unlimited: Exploring Employment Barriers for Older Workers', Catherine S. Shrubsole has used extensive research and current data, plus her intuitive wisdom gained from over 20 years in the HR industry, to discover which perceptions surrounding older workers are real, which are not and what you can do about it. This book suggests ways in which employers can overcome age-related barriers in relation to the employment and retention of older workers and tips on how older workers themselves can improve their future employment outcomes. It is an excellent resource for decision-makers as we tackle the debate surrounding the future of employment in Australia. We can all learn from its important message in order to create more effective organisations and more meaningful work for everyone.

Mirroring a worldwide phenomenon in industrialized nations, the U.S. is experiencing a change in its demographic structure known as population aging. Concern about the aging population tends to focus on the adequacy of Medicare and Social Security, retirement of older Americans, and the need to identify policies, programs, and strategies that address the health and safety needs of older workers. Older workers differ from their younger counterparts in a variety of physical, psychological, and social factors. Evaluating the extent, causes, and effects of these factors and improving the research and data systems necessary to address the health and safety needs of older workers may significantly impact both their ability to remain in the workforce and their well being in retirement. Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers provides an image of what is currently known about the health and safety needs of older workers and the research needed to encourage social polices that guarantee older workers a meaningful share of the nation's work opportunities.

Policy changes intended to delay retirements of older workers and extend their work lives may run up against demand-side barriers from age discrimination, and supply-side barriers owing to rising physical challenges of work as people age. We study three questions. How do age discrimination protections affect labor market transitions of workers encouraged to work longer by increases in Social Security's Full Retirement Age (FRA)? How do physical challenges at work influence employment transitions of older workers for whom public policy is trying to delay retirement? And what role do stronger age discrimination protections play in helping workers facing physical challenges at work? We find that stronger state age discrimination protections increase employment and hiring for older workers caught by increases in the FRA. We also find that physical challenges pose a barrier to extending work lives, although some workers with physically-demanding jobs are able to mitigate these demands -- either at new jobs or with the same employer. However, for the most part stronger age discrimination protections do not appear to contribute to older workers' ability to mitigate physical challenges at work.
