ACERO-MONDRAGON, Edward Javier. Inclusion of Senior Faculty with More Years of Academic Experience in the Workforce with an Outlook on the Aging Population towards 2050. Educación [online]. 2020, vol.44, n.2, pp.706-714. ISSN 2215-2644.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revedu.v44i2.38852.

The article references world economic policy projections regarding the aging population and the fact that by 2050, the retirement age will increase in an effort to reduce government fiscal and healthcare burdens. However, older teaching faculty with more years of study are associated with greater emotional stability and better decision-making skills which are desirable traits for new generations of teachers in the educational context. Regardless of any sensory impairment which impact some aging individuals, many older adults who are more experienced and possess more years of study are still actively employed as educators. This may serve as a strategy to specifically increase the acceptance of employable older adults who can still provide valuable contributions to society and the economy.

Palabras clave : Teachers; Integration of School Workforce; Aging Population.
