摘要这篇文章报道了最近一项关于澳大利亚雇主对老年工人的态度和政策的调查，目前澳大利亚经济持续增长，劳动力短缺问题持续受到关注。昆士兰州一项对590家员工超过50人的雇主的调查结果显示，受访者对招聘年长员工的倾向异常强烈，尽管大多数人并不把对年长员工的再培训放在首位。大多数答复者认为劳动力老龄化问题具有中期重要性，尽管对相当一部分人来说，这个问题是迫在眉睫的问题。部门和组织的规模都预示着针对老年员工的广泛政策的应用，公共部门和较大的组织更有可能活跃起来。对劳动力老龄化和劳动力供应的担忧预示着雇主对年长员工的行为，表明持续的政策制定可能正在出现，以应对人口老龄化，而不仅仅是对劳动力短缺的更直接担忧，而且这种组织政策制定的广泛推动力可能不受经济周期的影响。这项研究没有发现任何证据表明，这家灵活的公司不会支持老龄化的劳动力。
ABSTRACT This article reports on a recent survey of employer attitudes and policies towards older workers in Australia at a time of sustained economic growth and ongoing concerns about labour shortages. Findings from a survey of 590 employers with more than 50 employees in the State of Queensland point to an unusually strong orientation towards the recruitment of older workers among respondents, although the retraining of older workers is not prioritised by the majority. The issue of workforce ageing is viewed as being of medium-term importance by the majority of respondents, although for a substantial number the issue is of immediate concern. Both sector and organisation size are predictive of the application of a broad range of policies targeting older workers, with public-sector and larger organisations more likely to be active. Concerns about workforce ageing and labour supply are predictive of employer behaviours regarding older workers, suggesting that sustained policy making may be emerging in response to population ageing over and above more immediate concerns about labour shortages and that this broad thrust of organisational policy making may be immune to the point in the economic cycle. This study found no evidence that the flexible firm will not countenance an ageing workforce.
