摘要西方国家目前面临着改变老年工人参与劳动力市场的迫切要求，以应对人口老龄化带来的紧迫的经济和社会挑战。然而，在本文中，我们认为，我们对老年工人的理解受到一种主流话语的限制，这种话语强调个人而不是组织；并将年轻视为所有工人的行动抱负，而不是年龄。为了以不同的方式看待事物，看到不同的事物，我们提供了一种新颖的分析综合，结合了后奠基女权主义理论、2007年的电影《老无所依》和一项关于在挪威公共医疗体系工作的老年护士的实证研究。我们的目标是为工作领域的替代干预提供基础，这些干预可能会为老年工人更可持续的未来奠定基础。
ABSTRACT Western countries currently face pressing demands to transform the labour market participation of older workers, in order to address the pressing economic and social challenges of an ageing population. However, in this article we argue that our understanding of older workers is limited by a dominant discourse that emphasises individuals rather than organisations; and valorises youth as the performative aspiration for all workers, regardless of age. To see things differently, and to see different things, we offer a novel analytical synthesis that combines insights from post-foundational feminist theory, the 2007 film No Country for Old Men and an empirical study of older nurses working in the Norwegian public health-care system. Our aim is to provide the foundations for alternative interventions in the world of work that might underpin a more sustainable future for older workers.
