The document summarizes the results of a survey of managers in Swedish local authorities about their attitudes toward older employees. Some key findings include: - Managers viewed older employees as less interested in learning, less flexible, and more tired. However, they recognized older employees provided experience and mentoring. - Managers felt employees would be more likely to work past retirement age of 65 if they had a good work environment, appreciation, training opportunities, and pay increases. - The top reasons employees 55+ left work were health issues, family/leisure priorities, finances, and spouses retiring. - Managers saw reducing hours, flexible schedules, pay increases, and lighter duties as ways to encourage longer careers.
