Global Challenges – Global solutions podcast: The Silver Tsunami – Are older workers the wave of the future?

Multimedia / Audio

17 June 2024

There’s a new trend in the world of work…the growth of an ageing workforce. It’s called the “Silver Tsunami’, and it means more people are working past retirement age, either because they want to or because they must, to make ends meet. So, what are the implications of this trend for employers and enterprises? In this podcast, Roberto Suárez Santos, Secretary-General of the International Organisation of Employers, and Dorothea Schmidt-Klau, Chief of the Employment, Labour Markets and Youth Branch in the ILO’s Employment Policy Department, explore this issue, and how it will impact the world of work.
