長者及年齡友善就業工作坊 
Age-friendly Employment Workshop

在討論環節中，參加者和講員就着長者就業的不同議題作出討論。大部份參加者均認同長者退休後可繼續就業的重要性，以免失去人生意義而引致精神問題。至於長者就業困難的原因，包括長者勞工保險利潤不高令業界缺乏動力推廣、普遍使用電子平台招聘以及退休公務員須為有薪工作繳交薪俸稅。此外，僱主及長者均需改變固有的態度(如僱主認為年青人的生產力較高、長者因其豐富工作經驗而較難管理，長者應在退休後樂意做基層工作)。有建議社會應思考如何利用退休長者的經驗及專長。亦有參加者分享海外例子，指出政府提供培訓及支援長者及傷健人士營辦小生意。
On 19 January 2018, the Institute organized an Age-friendly Employment Workshop at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. A total of 33 people, with most of them NAWA members, attended and discussed at the meeting. Ms. Regina Lo from the Institute shared the elderly employment environment in Hong Kong and the findings of elderly employment from the data in the Jockey Club Age-friendly City Project and AgeWatch Index for Hong Kong 2015. S.K.H. Holy Carpenter Church Community Centre then shared their experience of promoting elderly employment through their internship programme, followed by sharing of Senior Prosolver, a newly established social enterprise, on elderly employment in Hong Kong and their job matching service for older people and employer. 

At the roundtable sharing session, participants and speakers had discussions on various issues related to elderly employment. Most of the participants agreed that it was important for older people to continue working after retirement or otherwise they would lose their meaning in life and have mental problems. Difficulty of elderly employment included relatively low profit causing industry practitioners not actively promoting labour insurance for older people, widespread use of digital platform for recruitment, and the need to pay salaries tax for paid jobs by retired civil servants. Mindset change of employers (younger people had higher productivity and older people were more difficult to manage due to rich working experience) and older people (ready to do low level work after retirement) was also necessary. It was suggested that the society should find out how to utilize the experience and professions of the retirees. Participants also shared overseas experience that the government would provide training and support for older people and disabled person to start small business.
