The ageing of the population has major implications for the economy, for labour supply and employer behaviour, as a growing retired population is supported by a shrinking workforce. Employers are increasingly recognising the need to make work more attractive to older people; despite recession older people are staying longer in work; which Government policy encourages. This paper provides an overview of the distinctive features of the older labour market and identifies policy issues which need to be addressed if we are to make effective use of older workers in future.
