According to the U.S. Department of Labor, by 2050 the number of individuals in the labor force who are age 65 or older is expected to grow by 75 percent, while those who are age 25 to 54 is expected to grow by two percent. The aging population can be a major challenge in the workforce but can also present many opportunities. This session will focus on the implications of an aging workforce and provide resources to employers on proactively preparing to address the growing aging population in the workplace.
