Description

In 2006 the Government of Alberta acknowledged the need to increase the labour force participation of mature workers in its comprehensive labour force strategy, Building and Educating Tomorrow’s Workforce. Between October 2007 and February 2008 an online public consultation on Alberta’s aging workforce gathered input from Albertans, and following this the government developed an action plan to support increased labour force participation of mature workers. The action plan identifies four overarching goals to support mature workers in the labour force: engage employers; support mature workers; promote active aging; and promote a supportive policy environment.
