Recent and continuing demographic changes indicate an expected shortage of younger workers in the future and, consequently, an increasing need for older people to remain in employment beyond current pension ages. This shift demands consideration of issues relating to older people in the workplace and the likely impact of continued employment on quality of life. This research project was broadly concerned with labour force participation in the age range 50-75. It focused specifically on the relationship between participation in paid work and subsequent psychological well-being and life satisfaction and the possible determinants of labour force participation at older ages.
