"According to analysis of the National Study of Business Strategy and Workforce Development, employers were more likely to report that they have offered on the job training to their early-career (88.1%) and mid-career (82.7%) employees than to their late-career employees (73.4%) in response to the changing age demographics of the workforce. Less than half of the employers reported that they offer career counseling to employees at any stage, and they were less likely to offer this to late-career employees than early-career and mid-career employees. Finally, although nearly half (45.5%) of the employers stated that they offer mentoring to their late-career employees, organizations were more likely to provide this degree of mentoring to early-career employees than to mid-career employees and late-career employees" (p. 14)

The National Study of Business Strategy and Workforce Development is a 2007 study carried out by The Center on Aging & Work/Workplace Flexibility at Boston College. Human resource professionals at 578 non-governmental organizations with 50 or more employees completed a survey about their organization's response to the aging workforce. At these organizations, approximately three-fourths of the employees were full-time, almost half were women and one-third were members of a racial/ethnic minority group.
