Abstract
This article discusses the employment of the elderly in Thailand, including the reasons for their employment such as the current aging society, the demand of enterprises, and the supply of the elderly that wish to resume their work. The benefits from hiring the elderly are expected for the country in both economic and social terms. However, there are a number of employment obstacles in hiring the elderly from the perspective of the enterprises and the elderly themselves. The factors influencing the success of elderly employment include their decision to work, the readiness of the enterprises to hire them, and the support of the government sector. Collaboration among those that are involved in elderly employment and preparation for their hiring are essentially required.
