title: [Psychological and psychosocial aspects in the elderly workers].
abstract: The international literature is producing information about job performance of elderly workers that is in contrast with current prejudice. Objectively, the elderly worker exhibits changes in performance but these changes do not necessarily interfere in a negative way. On the contrary, they sometimes have an extremely positive value: it is up to social partners and entrepreneurs to attribute a role and a value to the elderly workers. The psychological data on populations exposed to different occupational risks carried out by the Department of Occupational Health of the University of Milan are revised according to age and seniority. Some suggestions are given to encourage elderly workers to stay at work.
