"The world is facing a “silver tsunami” – an unprecedented ageing of the global
workforce. By 2030, more than half of the labour force in many EU countries
will be aged 50 or above. Similar trends are emerging across Australia, the US
and other developed and developing economies.
Far from being a burden or representing a crisis, the ageing workforce is a
valuable resource – offering a so-called “silver dividend”. Older workers often
offer experience, stability and institutional memory. Yet, in the rush to
embrace artificial intelligence (AI), older workers can be left behind.
One common misconception is that older people are reluctant to adopt technology
or cannot catch up. But this is far from the truth. It oversimplifies the
complexity of their abilities, participation and interests in the digital
environments."
