Work is often seen as a necessary activity to ensure a stable income. However, recent studies highlight the positive relationship between working in later life and a person’s health and longevity (Friedman & Martin, 2012; Hammerman-Rozenber, Maaravi, Y., Cohen, A., & Stessman, J. 2005). Moreover, some findings even claim that early retirement has a negative impact on a person’s health leading to a deterioration of higher-level functional capacity (Minami et. al., 2015).
In this presentation, I will discuss work factors that might have a positive impact on people’s health. According to the WHO, health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. A well-designed work addresses these aspects of health by preventing accidents and injuries, requiring cooperation and communication with others and considering basic principles of action control (Hacker & Sachse, 2013). I will show that work fulfills the basic human needs of self-control, self-development, socialization and feeling of achievement.
However, age related changes in sensation and perception, cognition and motor control have to be considered when designing age-appropriate working environments.
