Workforce and Aging
Public policy interest in and issues about older workers are
often cyclical, dependent in part upon the health of the economy,
the employment rate and retirement benefits. At the level of
the individual, issues are more basic such as the security and
benefits of employment and self-employment, the ability to maintain
technical competence in a changing workplace, and the affordability
of retirement. Age discrimination continues to be a major issue,
but given recognition of government prohibition and oversight
of its practice, it is sometimes difficult to uncover and eliminate.
The links on this page begin with a new national study on the
future of the older worker, followed by statistics, information
on age discrimination, federal programs, articles, older worker
programs supported by the U.S. Department of Labor, and other
programs and services.
