• Description:
  This volume addresses what is arguably one of the industrialized world's most pressing challenges at the start of the 21st entury; namely, how best to promote employability and well-being in an increasingly older workforce and age-diverse workplace. In North America, Asia, and Europe, aging populations, reductions in birht rates, and new patterns of late life workforce participation have already begun to influence societal norms, public policy, and organzational practices. Organizational and work scholars have also begun to devote systematic attention to the issues associated with these population trends, as evidenced by the growing number os special journal issues and books devoted to effectively managing an aging workforce. In this edited volume, we seek to provide readers with an overview of the substantial progress on this topic and the insights of researcdhers pursuing these issues pertaining to what needs to be done in the future. The issues associated with workforce aging demand an interdisciplinary understanding of the psychological, economic, and sociocultural forces that dynamically shape worker behavior and organizational practices.
