In the 2020s, the number of the over 60s in the workforce will continue to increase. The book ‘Arbeit und Altern 2020’ (Work and Ageing 2020) takes stock of the state of knowledge on work and age and ageing, and on progress in the areas of work design and human resources. It presents academic findings, practical design models as well as company and wage regulations. ‘Arbeit und Altern 2020’ provides a comprehensive overview of the job market, human resources management, learning and motivation, work design, gender and social inequality, health as well as company and wage agreements. The German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin) has been conducting research into healthy ageing at work for over 20 years.
