Abstract

The older population is one of the fastest growing age cohorts in the United States. This population has a higher incidence of disabling conditions than does the younger population. Many older adults may wish to be employed due to economic or personal reasons. This desire to work is consistent with the general older population's perspective on work, however certain barriers to employment exist for this group. Special considerations regarding employment are discussed.
