Description
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation retains its founder’s conviction that rigorous scientific analysis of economic behavior is essential to managing many aspects of both public and private life. Founded in 2010, our Working Longer program is examining one of today’s most pressing social issues: older workers who need or want to work beyond conventional retirement ages. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2020, one of four people working will be 55 years old or older. Research in this multidisciplinary program is creating a body of knowledge about how the labor market functions for older workers, the companies that employ them, as well as what can be done to support and strengthen this shift in how Americans work. Adjusting U.S. labor market institutions for the new demographic realities is a tier-one challenge for the 21st century.
