Wendy Loretto and Laura Airey's research focuses on the implications of extended working life policies for employers and older workers. Their research has:
- Informed Scottish Government policies to improve older workers' labour market position. The research has been cited in the Older People's Framework, the Gender Pay Gap Action Plan, and the Women Returners Programme.
- Underpinned development of Age Scotland's Age Inclusive Matrix (AIM). This innovative HR consultancy service supports businesses to develop age-inclusive workplace policies and practices.
- Raised the profile of 'age-inclusion' within the Equality, Diversion, and Inclusion agenda among Scottish employers. Key strategic organisations now collaborate to promote age-inclusive workplaces.
