Age is the silent shaper of work organizations and their human
resource practices. It has become a potent feature of how society
is structured and how it views itself. Age assumptions mould the
behaviours of young and old alike, and are used as political tools
by policy makers and managers. Organizing Age asks the perennial
question--can age ever not matter?
Drawing on a range of social scientific and popular writings, this
book casts a critical eye over the social construction and
politicization of age in and beyond organizations. Amongst other
topics, it discusses: the historical roots of age in society; how
we "perform" our age in different settings; the social impact of
defining age groups as generations; ageism; the effect of an
age-cluster on an organization's processes and members' experience;
the rituals of retirement and the birth of the retirement industry;
the impact of economic recession in challenging some of our
assumptions about age; and the increasing politicization of the
growing "grey" population.
Organizing Age provides an accessible introduction to the current
and emerging themes around this topic, which will be an invaluable
resource for students, academics, and policy makers.
