Building a Competitive Edge (continued)
As the population ages, the age-55-to-64 bracket of the labor force is expected to grow the most. The sheer number of older workers means that many employers will be coping with an aging workforce. Many who work beyond the traditional retirement age may experience disabling conditions, increasing the pressure on employers to keep workers on the job and to have employees who are temporarily disabled return to work quickly to maintain productivity. At the same time, many employers will try to induce more workers to remain on the job, customizing jobs around workers lives through strategies like jobsharing, flexible work schedules and part-time or temporary work.
