This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

You cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Or so they say, but if the “old dogs” reference is a euphemism for the older working person, the saying had better not be true. The older workers – particularly the baby boomer generation born between 1946 and 1964 – are likely to be part of the workforce for a while longer than might have been expected as falling birth rates after the post-war “boom” and later retirement ages caused by the economic needs of the person concerned and the economy as a whole, combine to create a higher average age of the workforce.

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to digest format.
