“…Alternative reform strategies can be envisioned (ESCAP, 2022; Fried, 2016; Kikkawa & Gaspar, 2022; Roy & Barua, 2023). If one likens the current post-pandemic recovery situation to the post-Second World War situation, the world stage is set for elders to age positively for economic recovery.…”

Given the havoc of the worldwide coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the older population, this article outlines a positive ageing framework for understanding and assuaging the havoc. Positive ageing follows the dual ageing ethics of living positively for self (maintaining health and functional independence) and for the betterment of others (other individuals and society at large). However, it suffers from the pandemic because the pandemic exacerbates ageism, impedes vaccine uptake and erodes social networks that have been an important resource and source of human connectedness and support for elders. The suffering thus amplifies the havoc of the pandemic on elders’ physical, psychological and social health. Preventing that suffering and advancing positive ageing, possibly by cultivating social networks and through social reforms to harness the silver demographic dividend of older workers for post-pandemic national recovery, are advisable, considering extant and emerging research evidence.

“…In addition, the share of younger workers is expected to reduce in the next eight years, while older workers' share is projected to increase considerably by 2030 [7]. A recent work indicated that the participation of older adults in the labor force in developing Asian countries has been consistent since the 1990s, marking 60% of individuals aged 60 and over as actively employed [8] (rates vary across countries: e.g., Thailand reached "only" 56.9%, while Indonesia rose up to 64.9%).…”

The increase in older workers in industrialized countries has become evident in the past two decades. The need to support the ageing workforce to effectively perform their tasks has resulted in Ambient Assisted Working (AAW), consisting of developing “smart” systems that can adapt themselves to workers’ needs by exploiting ambient intelligence (AmI) solutions. In AAW, AmI provides flexible workplace adaptations for a wide range of older workers (including persons characterized by chronic conditions and disabilities), while ensuring the ageing workforce’s safety and comfort within the workplace. This work proposes a systematic literature review with the aim of identifying trends among existing AAW solutions specifically designed for older workers. The review adopted the PRISMA methodology, focusing on journal articles and surveying more than 1500 works. The review underlined an absence of articles completely devoted to this research question. Nonetheless, by extending the research question to existing AmI solutions for workers that could potentially be able to support older workers in performing their working activities, it was possible to draw some considerations on the adoption of AmI for the ageing workforce. Among them, the review identified the different types of supporting AmI solutions provided to AAW, which technologies were adopted, and which workplaces were investigated the most. Finally, this work leveraged the findings of the review process to sketch some future research directions for AAW as a discipline.
