The document discusses whether older workers are fit for work. It introduces the Fit for Work program in the UK, which provides advice and assessments to support workers returning to work after 4 weeks of absence. The document then discusses stereotypes about older workers through examples like a 91-year old McDonald's employee, before busting common myths that older workers cannot commit long-term, take jobs from youth, or are unproductive. Benefits of work for older individuals and businesses are presented. Obstacles faced by older workers like age discrimination, health issues, and lack of training are outlined. Solutions proposed include programs to retain, retrain and recruit older workers through initiatives like apprenticeships, career reviews, and penalties for age discrimination.
