http://www.ikatyo.fi/IkaJaTyo/English/default.htm

Ageing Workers

http://oem.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/58/8/546

Chronological ageing starts at birth and ends at death. Therefore, anyone in the work force (15-64 years of age) can be considered an ageing worker. However, the definition of an ageing worker is generally based on the period when major changes occur in relevant work related functions during the course of work life.

http://www.ttl.fi/Internet/English/Information/Electronic+journals/Tyoterveiset+journal/1999-03+Special+Issue/06.htm

Younger workers have a number of functional advantages over their older workmates. They have better training, they are faster, and they are physically stronger. Older workers, however, have their own assets and coping abilities: above all, the wisdom and professional competence acquired through years of experience.
