Beskrivning

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.As more and more countries realise that their population and often their workforce includes a large group of healthy and active people over 55 years of age, the interest in understanding this group has increased. Investigating examples from across Europe, this edited collection looks at how older workers tackle the new digital world.While dated stereotypes of older workers as slower, more stubborn and firmly rooted in the past still exist, this collection takes an updated look at the situation in Europe relating to older workers who are using and developing new technologies. Identifying similarities and differences in competence development, cultures and policies, chapters provide a rich opportunity for learning and comparison. The chapters cover skills and lifelong learning, policy, attitudes, barriers and drivers.With rich insight and breadth, Older Workers and Digital Literacy provides a much-needed update on our understanding of older workers and how they are adapting to digitalization in their workplaces.
