Work, the Workplace, and Aging: A Planning Meeting

Completed

This planning meeting is to articulate a research framework that can help explain workplace qualities and policies that promote health and support work into older ages, and lead to the development of interventions to extend work life and promote health, particularly among the most vulnerable members of the workforce. The focus of discussion at the meeting will be on elucidating pathways linking work and health in order to identify potential intervention targets – i.e., malleable factors at the individual, interpersonal, work unit, institutional, or broader social level– that might be modifiable and lead to improvements in well-being for older workers.

Description

The Committee on Population will organize a two-day planning meeting to discuss a research framework that can help explain workplace qualities and policies that promote health and support work into older ages, and lead to the development of interventions to extend work life and promote health, particularly among the most vulnerable members of the workforce. This planning meeting is intended to set the stage for a later international meeting on work, the workplace, and aging.
