Description

Product Description This volume critically reviews the phenomenon of the aging workforce, adopting an interdisciplinary perspective that examines the challenges raised on an individual, organizational and societal level. Core issues framing the concept of the aging workforce and its consequences are presented by a team of leading contributors from around the world. Despite the visible trend towards a much older global population and workforce, research on the aging workforce, employment and retirement is in its infancy and faces a range of paradoxes. Taking under consideration all the challenges, ranging from the microenvironment of the individual level (individual, family, friends) to the organizational and macro-environment of the society (infrastructure, services, legislations etc.), this is an essential resource for policymakers and organizations designing strategies to address the challenge of the ageing society. Scholars, graduates and researchers in occupational and health psychology, human resources, business and management, as well as sociology, will gain a better understanding of the changing trends in the characteristics of the workforce through this multi-level review. Review Researchers from North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia provide 22 essays (including some country studies) on individual, organizational, and societal issues related to the aging workforce. They examine the mental health of the aging workforce; organizational initiatives to develop and retain older workers; psychological well-being and aging in the workplace; the effects of the institutional context on old age employment; young people's attitudes toward work and its impact on economic growth and the wealth of nations; stereotype, prejudice, and discrimination toward older workers; the concept of wisdom; and the role of human resource practices and other factors influencing the continuing work participation of older workers. Others address intergenerational learning and managing intergenerational relations in organizations; the effect of the disappearance of critical skills in the workforce; maintaining work ability to support and retain older workers; healthy aging in professional orchestral musicians; job performance and attitudes in later life; job insecurity, job loss, and reemployment; older people in political office; demographic trends and implications of the aging workforce; the effects of working on health; employers' attitudes toward older job seekers; and promoting non-discriminatory practices toward older employees in healthcare. -- Annotation ©2017 ― (protoview.com) About the Author Alexander-Stamatios Antoniou, University of Athens, Athens, Greece Ronald J.
