A person born today in Europe has a 50 per cent chance to become 100 years old, or even older. This, for example, is even higher in some countries like, for example in Japan, one of the oldest societies we know. However, this is not an issue that only involves advanced economies. For instance, in Africa, life expectancy by now is almost 65 years. Of course, ageing societies also mean aging workforces where more people are working past retirement age, either because they want to or because they must, to make ends meet. In all of that, women have a higher life expectancy than men, but they also have a much higher likelihood of being poor when they are old. In light of this, how can the jobs of the future respond to this trend and challenges and support an ageing workforce? What type of policies are needed to support inclusive and intergenerational workplaces? What can we learn from countries' experiences? This course, organized by the Employment Policy and Analysis Programme of the ITCILO in collaboration with the Employment Policy Department, will respond to these questions by drawing on the latest ILO research with a view to preparing policy makers to ageing workforces.
