This Handbook incorporates a variety of disciplines and approaches in order to provide a
comprehensive and authoritative examination of the issues that result from increasing age
diversity at work. Despite interest in this area exploding over the past few years amongst
academics practitioners and policy makers the analysis of age diversity has remained
primarily within disciplinary ¿silos¿ such as Psychology or Sociology with a focus on ageing or
generational differences rather than a combination of approaches to understanding age
diversity. Unique in its coverage of multiple perspectives it considers not only generational
and ageing perspectives to age diversity but also highlights the importance of context in
driving both the impact and response to this issue. The Palgrave Handbook of Age Diversity and
Work includes contributions from leading scholars in age and generational diversity from across
the world discussing cutting-edge research findings about the nature and impact of age
diversity and presenting approaches to managing this phenomenon.
