Abstract
The study attempts to provide an approach to lessen the shortage of skilled workers by employing the retired ones. Information involving the demand for and the supply of elderly skilled workers was collected and analyzed by logistic regression method. The findings show that the operation period of agencies, spending on the improvement of the production technology and labor costs have statistically significant impacts on the demand for senior workers after their retirement. The supply of skilled retirees is affected by size of organizations and salary. The number of skilled workers reaching their retirement period in the relevant service sector at the national level is computed based on the adjustment of the estimated demand and supply to the labor data surveyed by the Statistical Forecasting Bureau. Education costs, approximated by using information from the self -assessment report (SAR) of relevant faculties, represent the savings occurred to the society by employing retired workers. It is recommended that in order to alleviate the shortage of skilled labor by hiring more skilled retirees, it is necessary to render them appropriate training to enhance their computer skills, foreign language skills and skill specialization. |
