In this paper we examine both phenomena using the delay in retirement age as a nexus. Although automation is freeing workers from repetitive, hard work, older workers feel threatened by new automation advances which generate skill mismatches. Two links are highlighted: First, since skill mismatches affect low-skilled older workers more than those who are highly skilled, the latter will remain active for a longer period of time while the former will be pushed to retire. Second, the highly skilled workers who decide to prolong their working lives are a valuable resource for further automation advances because this technology continues to need human-assisted solutions.Our analysis establishes an important role for adult training to fill the gap between initial education and the demands of a rapidly changing labor market in order to encourage individuals to postpone their retirement and,hence, to ensure the sustainability of the social insurance system. 000129909 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000129909 590__ $$a1.9$$b2023 000129909 592__ $$a0.878$$b2023 000129909 591__ $$aDEMOGRAPHY$$b17 / 49 = 0.347$$c2023$$dQ2$$eT2 000129909 593__ $$aLife-span and Life-course Studies$$c2023$$dQ2 000129909 591__ $$aGERONTOLOGY$$b22 / 47 = 0.468$$c2023$$dQ2$$eT2 000129909 593__ $$aEconomics and Econometrics$$c2023$$dQ2 000129909 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b223 / 597 = 0.374$$c2023$$dQ2$$eT2 000129909 594__ $$a4.1$$b2023 000129909 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000129909 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-6861-3693$$aCabeza, Josefina$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000129909 700__ $$aMartin, Jorge 000129909 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
