Demographic challenges are creating a new urgency around the management and retention of mature age workers in Australia. The proportion of mature age workers in the population is increasing but labour participation rates are low in the older age categories. This project examines how the demographic composition of workplaces and the content of recruitment advertising evoke negative age stereotypes and lead to the disengagement of mature age workers. The project benefits mature age workers and their employers by identifying organisational policies and practices that counteract these effects by signalling an organisation's commitment to creating an age-friendly environment.

人口结构的挑战正在围绕澳大利亚成熟年龄工人的管理和留住产生新的紧迫性。成熟年龄劳动者在人口中的比例正在增加，但在老年群体中，劳动参与率很低。该项目审查工作场所的人口构成和招聘广告的内容如何引起负面的年龄陈规定型观念，并导致成熟年龄的工人脱离工作。该项目通过确定组织政策和做法来抵消这些影响，从而使成年工人和他们的雇主受益，表明一个组织致力于创造一个有利于年龄的环境。
