45 Plus: Choices in the labour market. Final Report – Stage 3 Qualitative Survey

Author: Research New Zealand

DoL commissioned Research New Zealand to undertake research that aimed to identify the reasons for non-participation of those aged 45 years and over, and the options for targeted CIAG that would be most beneficial to this group and have the greatest uptake. The objective of this qualitative research was to provide greater understanding of the drivers and inhibitors to workforce participation among different subgroups of mature non-participants; provide a better understanding of how specific barriers operate, particularly about ageist attitudes and issues relating to disability; identify the best ways to present and deliver CIAG information to achieve the greatest uptake; identify how accessible different forms and channels are for providing CIAG; and identify ways to optimise uptake among key subgroups.
