This report by the OECD reveals that if nothing is done to change existing work and retirement patterns, the number of older inactive people who will need to be supported by each worker could rise by around 40% between 2018 and 2050 on average in the OECD area. The research identifies what measures could be taken to promote more and better jobs for older workers. This includes taking action in three key areas: (1) rewarding work and later retirement; (2) encouraging employers to retain and hire older workers; and (3) promoting the employability of workers throughout their working lives.
