| description | The present study examined the participation of aging workers and their productivity in Malaysian
labour market. A quantitative research approach is employed following the positivist assumption
with a realist ontology and objectivist epistemology. Data was collected using a probabilistic
sampling method, particularly a stratified random sampling technique. A questioner was
distributed among 200 aging workers. The targeted population was older workers in private
education and medical industries aging 55-60 years. The findings indicate that age discrimination,
older workers’ intention to work after retirement, health status and education level influence
participation of aging workers in Malaysia. Furthermore, few recommendations are put forward
for employers to overcome these challenges. |
