The mission of TAEN – The Age and Employment Network is to promote an effective job market that serves the needs of people in mid and later life, employers and the economy.

We inform and advocate for effective age management policies to be adopted at all levels – in employing organisations, by individuals and across the labour market.

TAEN’s role is to interpret demographic change and help society - individuals and organisations - build advantage from it. We seek to remove age barriers to opportunity. We learn from the best, most forward-looking practices in human capital development, particularly those aimed at maintaining health, optimising work design, planning and delivering learning, and changing the structures of careers.

We work with individuals and organisations seeking progress in these areas. These include government agencies, academic bodies, employers and unions.

Our members are drawn from across the labour market. We offer all of them the possibility of sharing knowledge and influencing policy in this crucial sphere.
