通过制度企业家精神的视角，本文讨论了政府如何利用商业和福利制度提供的权力杠杆来影响老年工人组织管理的变化。它通过在两个截然不同的经济体——英国和日本——对国家利益相关者进行访谈来做到这一点。两国政府对工作和退休都采取了“轻触式”的方式。然而，在改变雇主在工作场所的做法方面，高度制度化的日本制度为政府提供了比自由主义的英国制度更大的杠杆。
Through the lens of Institutional Entrepreneurship, this paper discusses how governments use the levers of power afforded through business and welfare systems to affect change in the organisational management of older workers. It does so using national stakeholder interviews in two contrasting economies: the United Kingdom and Japan. Both governments have taken a ‘light-touch’ approach to work and retirement. However, the highly institutionalised Japanese system affords the government greater leverage than that of the liberal UK system in changing employer practices at the workplace level.
