Promoting lifelong learning for older workers an international overview

"The central argument of this book is that ageing must be seen as a lifelong learning and developmental process in which one continuously takes on new life challenges. In the context of work, lifelong learning is understood as a broad, holistic concept, which encompasses individual education and training, but also entails participative workplace learning actively supported by employers. The theme of the book is timely as the distinctive needs of older workers are not being addressed within a lifelong learning context. The purpose of this book is to address this by providing an overview of discussions at the crossroads of two topics, older workers and lifelong learning. Although the book has a focus on European approaches and experiences, contributions from the US, Japan and Australia are also included. "--Publisher.
