I really enjoyed reading this. Having worked on older worker issues back in 1990 the world has certainly changed! Being now an older worker myself that has had constant technological updating due to my work, I cannot say the same for people my same age that have not had the chance to do so. I also look at my mother some 23 years older than me and although she also had the chance to update her technological skills due to work I can say that she falls prey more easily to the dangers now present related to technology. Fascinating topic and so much work to do! Thank you
A new social contract and deeper democracy, in other words, the opposite of what is happening in many countries of the Global South, is needed for all of these ideas to really move forward. It is sad to see how dictatorial and anti democratic decisions are being implemented with no opposition from voters or repressed opposition from some leaders. The lack of information on availalbe social protection or the destruction of programmes (in Mexico for example) shows a lack of knowledge based decision making and misguided austerity measures hurting the most vulnerable.
Great article, not to speak of the huge limitations it puts on women candidates that also usually have lower access to personal finances
Excellent article. Indeed, without the legal reforms and the budgeted policy frameworks little will move in this region.
I hugely enjoyed reading this and shared it on FB! this message needs to out more widely! Indeed if we do not make the right adaptations it will mean more conflict and needless deaths of humans and other species. Thank you for this great work and the clarity with which you expose it.
Thank you for giving us s summary of your work which is both creative and informative. The future cannot be indeed in the hands of the few.
