Overview

Ageing populations are seen both as a threat and an opportunity. There is concern about discrimination against older workers, at the same time as there is concern about a shortage of labour. Professor Stella Vettori has assembled a collection of expert writers on the social, cultural, political and economic factors that have implications for labour markets as well as the welfare of older people, both in developed and developing countries. Anyone involved with workplace and employment policy and practice, and issues of diversity and discrimination, either at a corporate or societal level, will want to read this book.
