abstract:Active ageing (active aging in the US) is a recent concept (2002) developed by the European Commission and used also in Human Resource Management. This concept evokes the idea of longer activity, with a higher retirement age and working practices adapted to the age of the employee.
Perhaps we should not worry because if Mr Drucker's excellent survey is representative of the work of a person in his 90s, effective activeageing policies may offer a solution to the problem of ageing populations.
