The Sloan Center on Aging & Work at Boston College promotes quality of employment as an imperative for the 21st century multi-generational workforce. We integrate evidence from research with insights from workplace experiences to inform innovative organizational decision-making. Collaborating with business leaders and scholars in a multi-disciplinary dialogue, the Center develops the next generation of knowledge and talent management.
The Sloan Center on Aging & Work is grateful for the continued support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
Established in 2005, The Center on Aging & Work at Boston College is a research center committed to:
developing a research agenda focused on aging and work in the 21st century; engaging the broader business community in the adoption, implementation, and utilization of flexible work options for older workers;
impacting public discussion about aging and work; becoming the premier source of quality information about flexible work options for older workers.
The Center focuses on flexible work options because they represent an innovative response to the aging workforce. Research conducted by the Center examines employers’ adoption of flexible work options, their implementation in the workplace, and their utilization by older workers.
The Center's multi-disciplinary core research team is composed of more than 20 social scientists – economists, sociologists, social workers, and psychologists – who have a strong expertise in the fields of aging and workplace research.
