Senior can adapt to the modern workplace 15 Apr 2021 / 11:26 H.
PETALING JAYA: Seniors will have no trouble adapting to the modern workplace if the retirement age is raised beyond 60.
However, the digital divide between the seniors and the millennial generation may require the retirees to go for reskilling if they choose to continue working.
This is the view shared by several experts in employment and business.
They were responding to a proposal by a psychologist and associate professor at Universiti Malaya, Dr Mohd Awang Idris, that the government considers raising the retirement age while continuing to provide job opportunities for the younger generation.
