It covers ageing and economics, financial and retirement issues, the concepts of personal financial planning for retirement, the preparation of pre, during and post retirement from an individual and Human resources perspective, etc. The impact of an ageing population on the composition and possible shrinking of the labour force, productivity concerns, resources needed for upgrading of skills, and tax burden on the working populace are addressed. National policies regarding lifelong learning e.g. SkillsFuture framework, support for older workers to continue working e.g. Workfare, and incentives for employees to work beyond age 62 would be examined and analysed for effectiveness.
