Abstract
This paper looks at the role of occupational social work (OSW) in the context of the changing world of work. It focuses on one demographic group, older workers, who are seen to be at occupational risk in this environment. Labour force characteristics, trends and experiences of the group are examined in this context. Emerging models of occupational social work with more inclusive roles are explored and applied to the problems of older workers, with an emphasis away from work exit to maintenance and re-entry.Keywords
