Rapid population ageing, compounded by declines in the younger workforce that could offer timely caregiving assistance, is undermining society's ability to effectively and sufficiently protect people's health and quality of life as they grow old. This paper explores the promise of senior employment technology, a group of technological innovations that have the potential to alleviate or even eliminate the barriers faced by older individuals in the workforce. By doing so, these technologies empower older individuals to proactively safeguard their current and future living standards. This discussion delves into the potential of senior employment technologies in facilitating the continued participation of older individuals in the workforce and highlights the existing barriers preventing the widespread adoption of these technologies.
