Samenvatting:

How is digitalisation reshaping work for older workers across Europe? This open access volume offers a comprehensive examination of the challenges and opportunities that arise as technology transforms the labour market. Bringing together leading scholars from across Europe, the book provides fresh, evidence-based insights into working experiences of older workers in a digitalised labour market. Across 15 chapters, the contributors draw on diverse methodologies and data from multiple countries to explore critical themes sorted into the following thematic sections:Theoretical foundations and inequalities: Understanding how digitalisation intersects with age, gender, and sustainable career trajectories. Policy and media representations: Examining how regulations and public narratives depict the situation of older workers. Digital practices and health implications: Investigating the impact of technology on communication, well-being, and workplace dynamics. Sector-specific perspectives: Illustrating experiences of older workers in education, social care, and healthcare. This anthology serves as an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners dealing with the complexities of ageing and work in the digital era. It not only maps current trends but also shows possible ways to support more inclusive and sustainable workplaces for all generations.
