LTBesikeičianti socioekonominė aplinka, technologijų diegimas, pažanga sveikatos apsaugos srityse sudaro prielaidas asmenims ilgiau išlikti veikliems ir aktyviems darbo rinkoje. Nors dažnai vyrauja stereotipinės nuostatos į vyresnio amžiaus asmenis (prastėjanti sveikata, lėtėjanti reakcija, mažesnis imlumas naujovėms), tyrimo rezultatai atskleidė, kad darbdaviai dažnai įžvelgia ir vyresnio amžiaus asmenų privalumų darbo rinkoje. Lojalumas, patikimumas, lankstumas laike, sukaupta patirtis, asmeninių savybių ir profesinių kompetencijų visuma buvo paminėti kaip privalumas profesinėje veikloje.

ENContemporary older people are active and want to be a part of social and economic life and working life has a strong influence on physical and psychological health of older people, also social and personal life of such people as well as its quality, however, based on surveys carried out in Lithuania it is often stated that older age becomes a problem in the context of social inclusion (involvement) in the labor market due to the age discrimination, health problems, as well as the lack of modern abilities of older people. The age discrimination acquires various forms in the labor market, i.e. discriminatory job ads, absence of retraining opportunities for older people, redundancy before the retirement pension. Continuous changes in the nature of work, organization methods, as well as skills and knowledge required for work determine that people cannot expect staying with the same employer or working according to the same method during their entire working life. Interview with 9 employers were conducted with purpose to identify their approach to older workers. Interview results demonstrate that there are no single approach: in some cases older people have less flexibility, less interest in new technologies, have problems with health but they are more loyal to their work-place and community, are more experienced, more flexible in time.
