This demographic shift poses critical challenges to workforce sustainability and economic development. This paper addresses the research problem of how aging populations impact the employability and labor force participation of the globally senior workforce. The study aims to systematically explore these challenges and opportunities through the lens of the micro - meso - macro framework. Many existing studies focus only on a single level of analysis, often neglecting the interconnected dynamics of individual, organizational, and societal factors, which overlook the holistic nature of the aging workforce issue. Utilizing a comprehensive review methodology, the research examines individual-level attributes, organizational dynamics, and societal factors that shape the labor market experiences of senior employees. Key findings reveal that age-related stereotypes, limited access to upskilling opportunities, and inadequate organizational policies significantly hinder the employability of senior workers. At the macro level, global economic trends and technological disruptions further exacerbate these challenges. The study also identifies untapped opportunities for leveraging the expertise of senior workers through targeted interventions at all three levels. This paper provides actionable recommendations to address labor shortages and offers a foundation for future research on workforce dynamics in aging societies. An illustrative framework and propositions are presented to support the practical application of the findings.enAging populationaging workforcemicro-meso-macro frameworkAGERETIREMENTFUTUREWORKjournal-article
