- Between 1977 and 2007, employment of workers 65 and over increased 101 percent, compared to a much smaller increase of 59 percent for total employment (16 and over) . The number of employed men 65 and over rose 75 percent, but employment of women 65 and older increased by nearly twice as much, climbing 147 percent. While the number of employed people age 75 and over is relatively small (0.8 percent of the employed in 2007), this group had the most dramatic gain, increasing 172 percent between 1977 and 2007.
- Since the mid-1990s there has been a dramatic shift in the part-time versus full-time status of the older workforce. The ratio of part-time to full-time employment among older workers was relatively steady from 1977 through 1990. Between 1990 and 1995, part-time work among older workers began trending upward with a corresponding decline in full-time employment. But after 1995, that trend began a marked reversal with full-time employment rising sharply. Between 1995 and 2007, the number of older workers on full-time work schedules nearly doubled while the number working part-time rose just 19 percent. As a result, full-timers now account for a majority among older workers: 56 percent in 2007, up from 44 percent in 1995.
- Definitely. BLS data show that the total labor force is projected to increase by 8.5 percent during the period 2006-2016, but when analyzed by age categories, very different trends emerge. The number of workers in the youngest group, age 16-24, is projected to decline during the period while the number of workers age 25-54 will rise only slightly. In sharp contrast, workers age 55-64 are expected to climb by 36.5 percent. But the most dramatic growth is projected for the two oldest groups. The number of workers between the ages of 65 and 74 and those aged 75 and up are predicted to soar by more than 80 percent. By 2016, workers age 65 and over are expected to account for 6.1 percent of the total labor force, up sharply from their 2006 share of 3.6 percent.
- Worldwide this is due to declining birth rates, aging workforce Increasing concern with older workers in that they might have “diminished capacity, because when job demands exceed the work capacity of the individual, decrease productivity, job related stress, disease and disability are likely to result”
- Because of Airlines difficulties many pension plans were bankrupted and many need the additional income another 5 years would bring Since pilots were retiring early ergonomic measures that would benefit all pilots have not been instituted in the U.S. The results of a survey done with older and younger pilots was that all groups were in favor of these measures because they believed it would translate into increased efficiency, productivity, comfort, and decrease errors etc.
- American Society of Civil Engineers
- Long hours and traveling
- Special challenges presented by aging workers. A good ergonomics program adapts the job to the person.
- Active Aging-a cultural shift that takes into account that we are all aging and that there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. He advocates that employers of older workers as well as the health industry institute an environment where age is appreciated and workers can keep working through preventative medicine and revamping of skills and qualifications. Nurses in survey stressed respect and autonomy is lacking in current healthcare as is respect for experience
- According to Convertino, et al., if a person stops learning the stop living. He believes that older workers do want to learn new skills and technologies and that computer learning coupled with group learning can accomplish that.
- The aging of our workforce is inevitable and we can either deal with it now or lose the ability to compete in a world economy.
