The ageing workforce

More people are staying in work beyond traditional retirement ages

This is driven by increased life expectancy, financial necessity, and a desire to remain active and engaged. In New Zealand, older workers (aged 50+) now make up a significant portion of the labour force, with projections showing continued growth in this demographic.

This presents opportunities — such as retaining experienced talent and fostering intergenerational knowledge transfer — but it also brings challenges, including the need for workplace adaptations, age-related health considerations, and potential skill gaps as industries evolve.

As the workforce continues to age, fostering an inclusive and adaptable work environment will be crucial in ensuring that businesses and economies thrive while supporting employees at all stages of their careers.
