National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER)
Older workers' perspectives are examined in a national survey of the finance sector and case studies of aged care and construction workers. The majority of older workers intend to work beyond retirement age, to achieve a better lifestyle. With training, older workers could mentor younger workers. This support document includes a national survey of older workers in South Australia who are members of the Liquor, Hospitality & Miscellaneous Union. The National Survey Questionnaire is appended. (Contains 26 tables.) [This document was produced by the authors based on their research for the report, "Older Workers' Perspectives on Training and Retention of Older Workers" (ED499724) and was funded by the Australian Department of Education, Science and Training. For additional Support Documents, see ED499723, ED499725, and ED499727.]
