Description
At present we are looking at increased life expectancies and prolonged periods of employment. The aged workforce as a natural result of
this phenomenon presents society with great challenges.
At the
2nd International Symposium on Work Ability held
in Verona, Italy between 18 and 20 October 2004 this problem was scientifically addressed. This book
Assessment and Promotion of
Work Ability, Health and Well-being of Ageing Workers contains the majority of papers presented here.
The book reflects the
major themes of the meeting which are factors affecting work ability and employability of ageing workers, assessment of work ability
in different occupations, Evaluation of work-related problems of ageing workers and promotion of health and work ability.
You
will find very useful information and examples of methods, research and ongoing interventions.
