摘要：SUMMARY: The labour force is aging throughout the industrialized world. This phenomenon is caused by an increase in the overall life expectancy of the people and a decline in their fertility rate. As a consequence, the workforce of these nations is getting older. This situation is exacerbated in communities where birth rates are low and many younger, skilled workers emigrate to take advantage of job opportunities in other countries. To offset this trend, policy makers must consider approaches that encourage older employees to remain productive and continue working. Therefore, this article presents selected statistical data concerning the aging population. These data stress the need of focusing on further research in working conditions and work capacity of older workers. On the basis of available research data, the article describes some job characteristics of older workers: job satisfaction, perceived job demands, job control, social support at work, job insecurity and work-family conflict.
