The Future of Work for the 50+Considerations for workers and employers.

People are living (and working) longer, and there are lasting effects. How will we respond to these 5 megatrends that are shaping the future of work?

The world and the way we live in it are changing. Many of us are living longer, healthier lives. Soon, living to 100 won't be an anomaly but a common milestone.

However, not all will benefit from the longevity increase. We'll see people work well into their 70s and 80s, because they want to, or must. How will employers, policymakers, and workers adapt?

Join AARP over the course of three virtual conversations to explore the following topics:

New Ways of Working: How Older Workers are Adapting to the Future of Work

Creating Opportunities for All Workers

Upskilling and Reskilling Across Lifespans

Upcoming Webinar

reframing lifelong learning: the skills economy and older workers

November 20, 2024 @ 3:00 pm ET
Join AARP and a panel of leading experts as they explore this paradigm shift and how the future of work will change in-demand skills, especially those that will remain uniquely human and those that can be automated.

The workforce is both shrinking and aging, placing stress on our supply chains, workforces and operational capacities. Talent gaps, compounded by rapidly changing technology and longevity trends, have created a supply and demand problem in the labor market. Learn how workforce development, public policy and employer stakeholders are partnering to respond.

This virtual webinar marks the third and final installment of the 2024 Megatrends Live series. We hope you will join us on this learning journey as we engage in thoughtful dialogue and conversation to better design effective upskilling and reskilling benefits.
