NEW ORGANISATIONAL CAPABILITIES
The aging of the population, and with it better health, suggests that people will be ‘available’ productively in the workforce for much longer periods than ever before, at least in the “developed” world. In the under developed world there is no choice as people of all ages are immersed continuously in the work of their own survival lifelong. Three issues arise from this. One, what will it mean to be an older person in the near future? Two, will older people really be able to leave the workforce by choice? And, three, if not, what do we do with them when they can no longer work?
