Since October 2006 UK workplaces have been covered by the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations. Direct and indirect forms of age discrimination are now unlawful and the management of age issues has become a new concern for HR professionals. However, other changes have been affecting the employed and non-employed population for some time. As people live longer, the cost of keeping them in retirement increases. With fewer people being born, many authoritative organisations such as the OECD have been cautioning that the supply of younger workers to fill jobs will decline. The only practical answer will be for better use to be made of older workers - what TAEN has been calling for, in fact, for more than ten years. Hence, older people are now becoming recognised as economic assets for the country and its businesses.
