Understanding the Aging Workforce and Employment at Older Ages

Completed

Understanding the implications of work beyond traditional retirement ages is crucial because older workers will compose an increasing proportion of the labor force in the coming decades. A new body of research has emerged on the aging workforce and its implications for older workers, their families, employers, the workplace, and policy makers. This report will focus on the individual-level human capital and demographic characteristics associated with decisions to continue working at older ages, the experience of working at older ages, as well as the social and structural factors that inhibit or enable employment among these workers.
