ILO Podcast series: Global challenges – Global solutions – Are we doing all we can to address ageing in the world of work?

Multimedia / Audio

11 March 2022

People are living longer than ever before in both developed and developing countries. And in both cases, older people either want to, or have to, keep working, often out of the realistic fear of falling into poverty. In this podcast, Dorothea Schmidt-Klau, Senior Economist at the International Labour Organization’s Employment Policy Department, unpacks these trends in ageing in the world of work and how to address them.
