Conceptualisation of ageing in relation to factors of importance for extending working life – a review
Open accessAbstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore and understand the complexity of ageing in relation to factors of importance for extending working life. Method: Discourse analysis of documents was used in an integrative review including 128 articles. Result: Four different conceptualisation of ageing are shown to affect older workers’ ability to extend their working life: (a) biological ageing people’s health in relation to their physical and mental work environment, their pace of work and recuperation needs; (b) chronological ageing statutory retirement age and policies and economic incentives devised for older workers by society, unions and organisations/enterprises; (c) social ageing inclusion in different social groups, the attitude of managers, organisations and family members, the leisure activities and surrounding environment; and (d) mental/cognitive ageing self-crediting, motivating and meaningful activities, competence and skills in working life. Conclusions: Societies today focus mostly on chronological ageing and are looking to increase the retirement age with regard to statutory pension systems, e.g. beyond 65 years of age. The inter-relationships between chronological, mental, biological and social ageing and the nine areas identified as being important to older workers in these respects need to be considered when aiming to provide a sustainable working life for the increasing numbers of older workers in modern society. The theoretical model developed is a contribution to the critical debate that can be applied by societies, employers and managers in order to provide older workers with an inclusive and sustainable extended working life.

Older workers are more prone to workplace injuries than younger workers.
“older workers are more prone to workplace injuries compared to their younger counterparts (Nilsson, 2016; Wegman & McGee, 2004).”
From Policy Initiatives to Address the Challenges of an Older Population in the Workforce (2023) · cites this paper as Nilsson, 2016
The Physical work environment section says older workers may face higher injury risk in demanding work environments, but it expressly reports that they have fewer injuries than younger workers overall. That contrary comparison does not support the citing sentence’s unqualified claim. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
