Summary: The study investigates the causal relationship between age discrimination and internal employability. It also examines the differences in this relationship among different age groups in the healthcare industry. The findings suggest that there is a reciprocal relationship between internal employability and age discrimination among older workers, while there is no relationship between them for younger and middle-aged workers.

Summary: The study conducted in a large manufacturing company in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, shows that older workers face challenges in workplace interventions that may hinder the promotion of their work ability. Consideration of their perspective during intervention design and implementation, as well as referring to evidence on aging and work ability, could help address these challenges.

Summary: With the aging global workforce, understanding how to maintain the health, motivation, and productivity of older workers is crucial. This study integrates job design with socioemotional selectivity theory to examine the relationships between social job characteristics and employee performance for different age groups. The results show that both receiving and giving social support and feedback are more strongly associated with the performance of older workers. These findings have theoretical implications for the study of aging and work, as well as practical applications in creating workplaces that support the productivity of older workers.

Summary: Chronic stress can reduce the effectiveness of cognitive interventions, but can be mitigated through short-term stress management training, leading to improved attention and memory in daily life. In contrast, cognitive training is more effective in occupational settings with lower stress levels, with effects lasting at least three months. Stress management training in these conditions has less impact.

Summary: This study analyzed the risk factors for falls among hospitalized and community-dwelling older adults and found that factors such as gender, education level, multimorbidity, limitations with activities of daily living, and malnutrition were associated with falls. The results indicate that falls are a multifactorial problem, and future fall prevention programs should be tailored to the needs of high-risk subpopulations.

Summary: This paper proposes to study late careers from a paradigm that centers on the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of older workers, in contrast to the existing paradigm that focuses on age differences. By focusing on older worker dynamics and heterogeneity, this research provides a more detailed understanding of how late careers unfold and vary among older workers.

Summary: The aging workforce has an impact on employability and health, and the focus has shifted to enhancing the ability to stay at work. Factors contributing to staying at work among industrial workers were identified and mapped against a commonly used return to work model. Most factors aligned with the model, but new multidimensional factors were found.
