Dealing with employees over fifty: reflection and an introduction

Article Abstract:

The issue on whether older employees are still beneficial to employers or not can be addressed from different views. For some observers, the more developed the society is, the lower the status of older persons, and as a result, the old relies on the young for their well-being and survival. Employers with an aging workforce are likely to miss completely, or be delayed in appyling some major developments in productivity. However, for some, younger employees may lack some skills that are related with age and life experience.
