CEPAR Mature Workers study featured on SBS - Organisations and Mature Workers

Our Mature Workers in Organisations report was featured in a recent SBS report on the challenges for the mature workforce who are keen to reskill but face ageism in hiring.

The report’s co-lead author, and CEPAR Chief Investigator, Professor Sharon Parker of Perth’s Curtin University was quoted as saying:

“If we don’t find ways to keep mature workers in the workforce longer, then we’re really setting up a huge burden for young workers because they’ve got to generate all the productivity and funding needed to sustain a very large and growing population of older people.”
