Why is it important?
With a growing share of older people in almost every population, discussions are being held worldwide about how to guarantee welfare in the immediate future. Different solutions are suggested, but in this article the focus is on the need to keep older employees active in the labor market for a prolonged time.
Perspectives
This manuscript emanates from an interdisciplinary teamwork of authors from disciplines like occupational therapy, life long learning, social work and national economics. This collaboration has been extremely fruitful but time consuming, even if we think the results are worth it.
