Abstract

This paper offers a general evaluative review of the report of the Expert Panel on Older Workers of July 2008. It is a balanced, clearly written report that emphasizes the importance of individual choice, flexible work arrangements, reduced barriers to employment of older workers, and regional mobility. But the report does not highlight the important gender dimension operating in retirement decisions and in older worker job displacements. The perspective of the report is that of labour economics, but it could have benefited from a more public economics perspective for guiding principles on job displacement issues.
