From cpaaustralia.com.au: A multi-generational workforce brings significant advantages, yet many recruiters remain biased against hiring older employees, particularly those over 65.
The workforce participation rate for Australians aged 65 and above is currently 16%, a figure that has doubled since 2006, highlighting the need for inclusive hiring practices.
Creating an environment that welcomes older workers can enhance productivity and address skill shortages in various industries, particularly in sectors like accounting.
