  • This report aims to highlight the value of older workers to employers. It aims to stimulate discussion 
    and a better understanding of the potential of this growing consumer market for businesses. For 
    policymakers and commentators it offers evidence of a different view of the contribution of older 
    people in the coming decades.

    Not all baby boomers may want to remain in paid work, but flexibility and changing attitudes will be key 
    to harnessing the potential of those who do. New Zealand’s economic competitiveness over the next 
    40 years will hinge on how we build on the skills, knowledge and economic power of its older people

    This report aims to encourage discussion and highlight the potential of older people’s contribution to 
    the New Zealand economy. It offers insights into how our competitiveness over the next 40 years will 
    hinge on building on the skills, knowledge and economic power of our older people. 
    It presents research undertaken by the Ministry of Social Development in early 2010. The research 
    outlines how this contribution might look over the next four decades, and provides a platform from 
    which to view two of the Minister for Senior Citizens’ key priorities for older people. These are: 
    • to encourage employment of mature workers 
    • to change attitudes about ageing. 

    Government cannot work in isolation to develop these priorities into tangible actions. It is intended that 
    this report adds to the body of knowledge that will stimulate thought and action among government 
    agencies, NGOs, business groups and individuals.
