18 July 2005Many older Australians are up-skilling or retraining to maintain gainful employment or pursue other interests. In this systematic review of existing research, Peter Thomson, Susan Dawe, Alison Anlezark, Kaye Bowman set out to find evidence that skill development activities for the mature-aged lead to improved employment opportunities and productivity. They also look at what factors act as barriers or facilitators to these key outcomes, and the implications of this review for vocational education and training policy and practice and research.
