Abstract

Using a panel of workplaces in Britain, we investigate the implications for businesses of employing older workers. Workplace labor productivity falls where the proportion of older or younger workers rises. These raw associations are attenuated somewhat after controlling for aspects of human capital. In contrast, there is no significant association between age shares and workplace financial performance, suggesting that any reluctance by employers to employ greater numbers of older workers may be misplaced.

雇佣年长员工会影响工作绩效吗?

通过对英国工作场所的调查，我们调查了雇佣年长员工对企业的影响。工作场所的劳动生产率下降，老年或年轻工人的比例上升。在控制了人力资本的各个方面之后，这些原始关联有所减弱。相比之下，年龄比例与工作场所的财务表现之间没有显著关联，这表明雇主不愿雇佣更多年龄较大的员工可能是多余的。
