Changed attitudes towards older workers

29 Oct 2006

Appreciation of older workers, investing in their ability and knowledge and seeing them as a valuable resource is likely to become a new trend in working life. However, the study indicates that the reshaping of working life practices to foster long careers has only just begun.
