The Demographic Shift and Ageism

The Demographic Shift and Ageism

I have written alot about the demographic shift towards an "older" workforce and the need for employers to plan for this or be left in a precarious position. Recent initiatives have been the push to end "mandatory retirement" (see also this post).The C.D. Howe Institute has another Commentary entitled Follow Quebec's Lead: Removing Disincentives to Work After 60 by Reforming the CPP/QPP. If you are interested in this issue, read Aging Populations and the Workforce: Challenges for Employers by William Robson for the British North America Committee.

So the move should be to encourage employers to develop an approach which includes the "older worker" right? Yes, but then I read articles like this and this.
