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. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 1.9 2023 DEMOGRAPHY 17 / 49 = 0.347 2023 Q2 T2 GERONTOLOGY 22 / 47 = 0.468 2023 Q2 T2 ECONOMICS 224 / 600 = 0.373 2023 Q2 T2 0.878 2023 Life-span and Life-course Studies 2023 Q2 Economics and Econometrics 2023 Q2 4.1 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Cabeza, Josefina Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6861-3693 Martin, Jorge 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
