Are older people blocking the progression of younger people in the workplace, or are companies who get rid of older workers suffering from a loss of experience?

In our Monday debate, we looked at how older people are faring in today's workplace.

We discussed whether it's game over for your career by the time you reach your 50s, or if more and more of us will be working into our 70s.

Are older people able to deal with the rise of artificial intelligence and automation, which is threatening up to 40% of jobs?

And how can you future proof your career so that you can leave on your own terms?

Future of work expert Peter Cosgrave, Terry Prone, Chairman of The Communications Clinic, Donal O'Donoghue, Managing Director of Sanderson Recruitment, and Helen Vaughan, psychotherapist with Maynooth Counselling, joined us to discuss all of this.
