They're the most educated with great expertise. Yet, they remain underestimated. It's the people over 45, a useful cohort that struggles to find new employment, in large part, due to ageism. Hear from Mona Mourshed, CEO of Generation, an organization that trains people who are unemployed, underemployed, or need to learn new skills in conversation with Roberta Fusaro, McKinsey executive editor. They also dig into how employers stand to gain by investing in older workers - practically, culturally, and economically.
