Aging Workforce Issues

The aging workforce refers to the growing number of older workers in the job market due to an increasing life expectancy and declining birth rates. This shift presents challenges such as skills gaps, as some older employees may lack familiarity with new technologies, and potential health-related issues affecting productivity. Employers must also consider retirement planning, as many workers may delay retirement, creating a need for policies that support both older employees and younger workers. Adapting workplace cultures to be inclusive and supportive of all age groups is essential for maximizing productivity and maintaining a harmonious work environment.
