Facing the Challenges of a Multi-Age Workforce examines the
shifting economic, cultural, and technological trends in the modern
workplace that are taking place as a result of the aging global
workforce. Taking an international perspective, contributors
address workforce aging issues around the world, allowing for
productive cross-cultural comparisons. Chapters adopt a
use-inspired approach, with contributors proposing solutions to
real problems faced by organizations, including global teamwork,
unemployed youth, job obsolescence and over-qualification, heavy
emotional labor and physically demanding jobs, and cross-age
perceptions and communication. Additional commentaries from
sociologists, gerontologists, economists, and scholars of labor and
government round out the volume and demonstrate the
interdisciplinary nature of this important topic.

The workforce across industrialized nations has become both older
and more age-diverse, and this trend is expected to continue in the
coming decades. These changes will have important implications for
motivating and managing both individual employees and teams and
because people are retiring later, it is important to address ways
to sustain the wellbeing and productivity of workers. With a
specifically international focus, this volume addresses these
critical issues from the individual and psychological perspectives.
Based primarily in empirical research, it covers a wide range of
topics related to the aging workforce, including the motivation of
older workers - to work and to retire; what organizations can do to
attract and retain the talent of older workers; how to improve
relations and productivity among age-diverse teams; how to design
jobs to support older and younger talent; and how to better
understand why older workers may choose to return to work. This
volume includes contributions from the top I/O researchers in the
field of the aging workforce. This book was originally published as
a special issue of the European Journal of Work and Organizational
Psychology.

With the long-term trend toward earlier retirement slowing, and the
majority of older workers remaining in employment up to and beyond
statutory retirement age, it is increasingly important that we
understand how to react to these changes. Bridge employment
patterns and activities have changed greatly over the past decade,
yet there is little information about the benefits of the various
different forms this can take, both for employees and employers.
This comparative international collection provides the first
comprehensive summary of the literature on bridge employment,
bringing together experiences from Europe, the United States,
Canada, Australia and Japan. It identifies the opportunities,
barriers and gaps in knowledge and practice, whilst offering
recommendations on how organisations and individuals can cope with
future challenges in aging and work. Written by international
experts in the field, each chapter also makes substantive and
contextualized suggestions for public policy and organizational
decision-makers, providing them with a roadmap to implement and
integrate bridge employment into policies and practices designed to
prolong working life - a priority for workers, organizations and
societies in the coming decades. This unique research handbook will
be useful to a wide range of readers with an interest in the new
concept of bridge employment and the extension of working life, and
of interest to researchers and practitioners in organizational
behavior, labor market analysis, human resource management, career
development/counselling, occupational health, social economy and
public policy administration
