Infos

This handbook provides a comprehensive examination of age diversity at work. As with the previous edition, this fully updated and expanded resource remains unique in its coverage of multiple perspectives on this issue. It considers generational and ageing approaches to age diversity, and a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

This book contains contributions from leading scholars from across the world to discuss recent research findings about the nature and impact of age diversity, and how to manage this phenomenon. It contains both updated and entirely new chapters that reflect emerging research streams and contemporary issues related to age diversity and work, including menopause and work, flexible and hybrid working, post-COVID changes, sustainable work, workability approaches, third age entrepreneurship, and digitalisation and emerging technologies. It will be of great importance to scholars and students of HRM, diversity and inclusivity, organisation studies and sociology of work.
