Health & Wellbeing Amongst Older Workers

UNISON has have been approached by Middlesex University Business School about a research project on older workers.

It's a one year study commissioned by the EU to look at the impact of organisational restructuring on older workers’ health and well being. The other countries involved are Italy, Germany, Austria, and Finland.

The survey will look at the causal factors which lead to declining health (such as loss of job control, deteriorating working conditions, etc) which can have both theoretical implications (eg which models are best for describing the experiences of older workers) as well as practical ones (identifying the best approaches to supporting older workers).

If you are aged 50 or over, please take a few moments to complete the questionnaire.
The results will be immensely useful to UNISON in gathering evidence on any health effects on older workers identified. The deadline for responses is 15th December.
