Positive Ageing and Human Resource Development seeks to introduce
readers to some of the major cultural issues that the current
demographic changes of the workforce as the national default
retirement age within the UK has moved from 60 to 67 and beyond
represent for the workplace. This phenomenon is happening in other
economies. It recognises there are social shifts in terms of the
psychological contract and expectations of different sets of
workers. Rather than seeking to extend ideas around
multi-generational research eg millennials and generation X/Y, it
provides some contributions and commentary which may inform
employers, HR professionals and those interested in Human Resource
Development (HRD) when considering how to plan for these
challenges. It considers the concerns that HRD thinking has largely
been focussed upon the development of leaders or managing people,
rather than how such sociological shifts may impact upon the nature
of work and subsequent productivity. It recognises that many
companies have failed to plan their people management strategies
and talent management approaches to cope with this shift largely
given their uncertainty how to address. It takes a set of
contributions then, which focus upon different issues broadly based
around age, in order to provide illustrations of some of the areas
for discourse of the lived experiences of those affected by the
probability of working into their late 60s or potentially even late
70s. Much of this is focussed around women's working lives as the
impact of later working represents a number of peculiar issues
around the valuing of women's work and its contributions.
