Work force aging in OECD countries The OECD, (Organization for Economic Co- Operational and Development.) Is an organization that has a focus on Policies that improve the economic and social well being of people around the world. The OECD has been around for 50 years. I choose this article because the focus is on aging in the work-force .The traditional time frame in which most companies offered retirement incentives is predicted to change in the near future. This is mostly due to Pension programs and social security systems . These programs are starting to be reformed. Therefore, existing incentives for early retirement will be reduced or eliminated. A market for older workers can began to emerge. This will allow incentives to extend working longer. According to this article there is weak evidence that older worker earn less than younger workers in the event that the older workers are the majority. Skill level is mentioned . Improved job skills and access to training could reduce the risks of unemployment and low pay for older workers In this population of workers there will be mid- and late career workers to meet emerging skill demands. Unfortunately, older workers can encounter major difficulties if they lose their job. They could suffer from long-term unemployment and large earning losses. In summary governments play a role in educating and facilitating the adjustments that will take place in the work force.
