Abstract

Responding to the trend of more aged people in Taiwan, there were many aged manpower studies from the viewpoint of social welfare, but few from the viewpoint of business which is important for the employment of the aged. In this paper, we porpose an integrated framework of the aged employment which is based on both the willingness of business to employ the aged and that of the aged to work again. Then we also have an empirical study to examine their willingness and the difference of their recognition in employment requirements. The results show that: 1.The business would like to continue to employ their own aged employees, rather than employ the retirees from outside. 2.The businesses tend to retain their aged employees for original jobs, and like to employ external retirees only for consulting services. 3.Good co-worker relationship is the most efficient factor of motivation. 4.Both the businesses and the aged prefer the employment of full time jobs. 5.The businesses prefer to recruit the aged through their employees' recommendation, rather than through the government's allotment. Implications and suggestions are also delineated.
