Phil Ruthven has a refreshingly different viewpoint on intergenerational challenges. We particularly liked these  comments:

At 65 years of age :

• in 1800, you were dead 27 years ago
• in 1900, you were dead 12 years ago
• in 2000, you had 12 - 15 years to go
• in 2100, you may be two-thirds through your life

We need to be very careful about what an ‘ageing society’ or the ‘greying of Australia’ really means

Even at 70 years of age many will still be working, probably part-time and will be fit and healthy.

We agree; we need to raise the age definition of ‘old’. We also need to challenge the traditional assumption of retirement.

Yes - we will have a growing porportion of older workers - most only too happy to do different and mostly part-time work beyond 65 years of age.

Employers need to build capability in role redesign and incorporating flexible work practices into their modus operandi.

SageCo’s key questions::

• How clear is your pathway for mature workers in your organisation?
• How are you supporting your  employees in preparing for work and life in late career?
• How many roles incorporate flexibility?
