An introduction to the Work Ability concept
Work Ability is the balance between work demands and personal resources. Maintaining and improving Work Ability has been used as a way of solving the problems associated with an ageing workforce. Work Ability Index (WAI) can be applied in Australian workplaces to promote productivity in an ageing workforce and maintain quality of working life. The WAI provides a basis for measuring the changes individuals undergo in their life course with age as well as changes in work demands.
