Description: Based on the demographic developments, many European countries face similar challenges with a growing proportion of people on pension and ageing workforce. Ageing people are defined being from the age of 45 and aged people from the age of 55. Finnish aged people have had very different educational and working possibilities compared to the younger generations were several national initiatives respond to the problem. Key amongst these is the Finnish National Program of Ageing Workers to promote occupational health and working conditions. However, our focus is on studying the challenges of learning, maintenance of competence, transfer of tacit knowledge and well-being of aging people in different work contexts. We draw upon the existing qualitative data in service sector and in textile industry occupations and ongoing projects in SMEs and municipal sector workplaces and approach these challenges from the point of views of workers' experiences, workplaces strategies and practices.
