Older workers not at end of road
Workers over 50 years should be seen as a "game-changing opportunity" rather than a burden for the economy, Singapore's Straits Times reports. Older workers have a strong capacity to leverage their experience and networks to gain new skills and solve complex problems, making them better entrepreneurs and innovators. The silver-haired can increase that "crystallised intelligence", as Oxford’s Sarah Harper calls it, by starting their own firms and learning new skills. Conversely, it may actually be the young and lower-skilled whose jobs are more at risk, she suggests.
