Overlapping Vulnerabilities in the Aging Workforce

Tuesday, October 30, 2018

12:00pm – 1:30pm Eastern Time (USA)

The objective of this third installment of the Productive Aging and Work webinar is to explore from three complementing views how social and economic factors can influence the occupational safety and health experience of aging workers. First, Dr. Joanne Crawford of the Institute of Occupational Medicine in Edinburg, Scotland will discuss issues related to gender and age, focusing on older women in the context of occupational safety and health. Second, Dr. Jennifer Swanberg of Providence College will focus on low-wage older workers and health disparities. Finally, Dr. Richard Johnson of the Urban Institute will present on the socioeconomic factors that influence work experiences and transitions into retirement of vulnerable populations.  We hope you can join us!
