Faced with economic uncertainty and declining retirement security, older adults have increasingly tried to remain in, or return to, the workforce in recent years. Unfortunately, a host of factors, such as ageism and changing skill requirements, present challenges for older adults seeking employment. Low-income older adults, in particular, may lack necessary education and skills and have limited access to job opportunities and training. In this review, we examine factors that inhibit and support employment for low-income older adults and explore the role of social work in facilitating their inclusion in the workforce.
面对经济不确定性和退休保障的下降，近年来老年人越来越多地试图留在或重返职场。不幸的是，一系列因素，如年龄歧视和不断变化的技能要求，给寻求就业的老年人带来了挑战。特别是低收入老年人，可能缺乏必要的教育和技能，获得工作机会和培训的途径也有限。在本综述中，我们研究了抑制和支持低收入老年人就业的因素，并探讨了社会工作在促进他们融入劳动力市场方面的作用。
