emographic change remains one of the most important topics for politics, society and business. Its impact, also at the workplace becomes more and more evident and reaches companies worldwide in terms of e.g., recruiting (especially in skilled labour shortages), keeping the workforce workable and productive, as well as retirement transition. Demographic change therefore is a topic that touches everyone, and hence needs a holistic understanding of the underlying theories and practical implications. Therefore, sharing and fostering worldwide research about older workers & aging at the workplace is essential. The goal of this years’ small group meeting ‘AWM 2017’ is to facilitate discussions and feedback on current research findings and planned research topics, as well as to jointly derive new insights and ideas for future research.
