Concern about the aging population tends to focus on the adequacy of Medicare and Social Security, retirement of older Americans, and the need to identify policies, programs, and strategies that address the health and safety needs of older workers. Older workers differ from their younger counterparts in a variety of physical, psychological, and social factors. Evaluating the extent, causes, and effects of these factors and improving the research and data systems necessary to address the health and safety needs of older workers may significantly impact both their ability to remain in the workforce and their well being in retirement. Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers provides an image of what is currently known about the health and safety needs of older workers and the research needed to encourage social polices that guarantee older workers a meaningful share of the nation (TM)s work opportunities.Older peopleEmploymentHealth aspectsUnited StatesAge and employmentUnited StatesIndustrial hygieneUnited StatesOlder peopleEmploymentHealth aspectsAge and employmentIndustrial hygiene363.11/00973Wegman David H1806039McGee J(James),1950-1806040National Research Council (U.S.) Committee on the Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959384503321Health and safety needs of older workers4354977UNINA
