Insight: The Ageing Workforce
BODY:
Philippa Tolley asks if employers are doing enough to embrace what's been called a "tidal wave of demographic change" as the age profile of the workforce gets dramatically older.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand's workforce is ageing. Are employers doing enough to embrace a more mature workforce?
It has been described as a tidal wave of demographic change and a looming war over a shrinking pool of talent. But no matter how you put it, the statistical fact remains the same: New Zealand's workforce is ageing.
After years of reports and discussions about the changing age profile of the country's workers, the implications are now beginning to hit home.
Insight: The Ageing Workforce
The change in the number of people still working past conventional retirement age has reached record levels. A year ago, at 22.2 percent, New Zealand hit the highest ever rate of employment among those aged 65 years and over, and there's no sign of a let up. Only 30 years ago, the rate was about 9 percent.
Statistics New Zealand's Mark Gordon says that change is large and rapid.
"If you are looking at the population of people aged 65 years and over there are well over 600,000... and that's a figure that has nearly doubled since 1981," he says.
But what does the looming demographic change mean for workers and businesses?
Making older staff work for business
The co-owners of Tauranga-based trucking firm Tranzliquid, Geoff Pert and Jackie Carroll, are firmly committed to providing a workplace that suits both younger and more mature workers.
Talking about employing more older staff in his workforce of 40, Mr Pert, is utterly positive.
"We blend them together, a sort of cross pollination of the younger and the older... we get them to work closely and they both have inherent skills that they pass on to each other that we need in this environment of accelerating change," he says.
With drivers behind the wheel covering hundreds of kilometres everyday all over the North Island, he champions work/life balance, offering flexibility over starting and finishing times, and leave for special family and other events.
These are the sorts of conditions the government and business organisations are urging firms to adopt in order to retain skilled workers.
Me Pert says it's possible if both sides communicate. "If staff give the company lots of notice, then we can work together on it and keep the company flowing nicely," he says.
According to the most recent PwC Golden Age Index, New Zealand has the second highest rate of engagement of those aged over 55 in the OECD, topped only by Iceland. Many in their 60s, who in the past would have received a golden handshake and retired to a life focused on family and hobbies, now want to remain engaged, connected and active. They consider themselves willing and able to do well in the workplace.
But organisations need to recognise they benefit from experienced staff and they can't afford to have huge chunks of their workforces walk out the door when they hit 65.
Massey University's, Professor Tim Bentley, who was one of the co-authors of AUT's Aging Work Force study, warns businesses who think people in their 60s are no longer of any use that they are out of date. He says the change in the age profile of workers means there could be a looming shortage of skills and a fierce battle for talent approaching.
Prof Bentley says age-friendly firms will not only retain the workers they have, but will develop reputations as companies that value experienced staff and are good places for those in their 60s, or even older, to work.
Back in the 1970s, Community Education programmes about preparing for retirement were broadcast. They were accompanied by countrywide seminars and evening talk back sessions. Listeners were warned: "The sudden switch from full-time work to full-time retirement can come as a shock to the system. Being prepared for the shock can lesson the impact."
The facts were cut and dried: work would end at 60.
Choosing the right time to bow out
The retirement options on the table now are a veritable smorgasbord, from lengthy sabbaticals to graduated retirement.
Mr Bentley envisages people increasingly taking their retirement as they go along, dipping out of the workforce for sabbaticals and longer periods of leave. "Who says it all needs to be taken at the end?"
But not everyone is staying on in the workforce because they want to.
Among members of the Public Service Association (PSA) union, the jobs with the highest number of older workers are those in the caring industry, who offer home and disability support, and they earn some of the the lowest wages.
One of the PSA's National Secretaries, Glenn Barclay, speculates that workers such as these don't want to stay on past 65, but have to.
"They don't have savings for retirement, or very little, and they often need to support family members and so have little choice but to stay on at work."
Despite all the information pouring out about the huge demographic change in the workforce, the PSA believes little is being done to transform the work environment for older workers - both those working out of choice and those working out of necessity.
The union has found out, using Official Information Act requests, that key government agencies do not have processes in place for older workers beyond retirement age.
The last information was gathered over a year ago and Mr Barclay acknowledges that action may have been taken recently, but he isn't convinced.
He is, however, convinced of what should be done. Agencies and companies should listen to older workers and invest in them, he says, instead of treating them as a group that is going to disappear, because those workers will be needed in the future.

Lynn Freeman spoke to Alex Lee from Documentary Edge, and Mareva Leu the co-ordinator of Tahiti documentary festival: Festival International Du Film Documentaire Océanien (FIFO).
1:48 From Kraus to Parekowhai: Story of a Piano
Hungarian refugee Lili Kraus, who lived in New Zealand after the Second World War, played concerts in remote rural areas and helped professional musician’s source good quality instruments.
In 1959 she wrote a message on a Steinway piano - and that piano went on to become part of artist Michael Parekowhai's contribution to the 2011 Venice Biennale.
Now Michael's big sister Cushla has looked into Lili's life and her contribution to this country's cultural scene over many years and sharing her research at a talk at Te Papa.

2:25 Tusiata Avia: Fale Aitu Spirit House
Pacific poet Tusiata Avia's new collection has been a long time in the making. Seven years in fact. And it wasn't until Tusiata finished Fale Aitu Spirit House that she realised, with some serendipity, there was a strong theme running through it...hence the name.

2:47 Marcel Lucont pours scorn on you
The New Zealand International Comedy Festival is wrapping up in Wellington and Auckland but other parts of the country can now see many of the highlights as part of the festival's travelling Comedy Convoy.
Zoe George, producer for RNZ Concert's Upbeat, enjoyed some playful repartee with the convoy's MC: French raconteur Marcel Lucont, performed by English comic Alexis Dubus.
Marcel has a dry, deadpan and at times almost snobby charm that intrigued Zoe.

Turkey's Alevi
The Alevi, Turkey's largest religious minority are Muslims who fuse Shiite Islam with Sufism and Shamanism. Rather controversially they are also followers of Ali – the son -in-law of the Prophet Muhammad.The Turkish government continues to reject recognition of Alevi ‘Cemevis' as places of worship, despite several recent rulings taken by the European Court of Human Rights instructing Turkey to do so. The Alevi see this as a refusal of religious freedom by the Turkish authorities toward them and other religious minorities making up the country's rich diversity. Dale Gavlak meets Alevi leaders who are concerned that the Turkish authorities are trying to impose a Sunni majority agenda on them by not allowing them to register their places of worship, nor permit their version of Islam to be taught in government schools, where right now, the compulsory teaching of Sunni Islam takes place. The Alevi are a distinct, colourful, poetic faith within Turkey. Heart and Soul explores the community and in doing so highlights their difficulties in establishing their role in a changing Turkish society. (BBCWS)

Kapa haka: behind the scenes
BODY:
There are many facets to kapa haka. It's a platform where traditional Māori arts can interpret the many issues of the day. Justine Murray goes backstage at the Mataatua Regional Kapa Haka Competition to get a sense of how kapa haka has evolved over time.
EXTENDED BODY:
In part two of this series about Māori music and the arts, Te Ahi Kaa is at the Mataatua Kapa Haka Regionals 2016.
Kapa haka (traditional Māori performing arts) has evolved steadily in the past decade. Tame Iti describes today as ‘more kinda Hollywood’. Hine Mamaku says for her it is a ‘bit too fast’, and Ruatahuna Kakahu Mauku member Rangiriri Rangitauira says ‘It’s our current affairs, it’s how we give narratives’.
Te Maakarini Temara is a lecturer in Mātauranga Māori and a kapa haka tutor and past performer. He says there are a number of changes that have come into play on the stage, the culture has shifted, but the one thing that remains is that kapa haka is a vehicle to vent anger, concern, and disgust with any issues of the day.
"Anything political it is said on the marae ātea, Anything political, it is said on stage” – Te Maakarini Temara.
So, what will kapa haka look like in 30 years time? Dr Hauata Palmer, from the pakeke group Te Moutere o Matakana me Rangiwaea, says it will always be modified.
There is a time and place for the classics and there's a time and place for the contemporary – that’s the view of Tangiora Tawhara from the kapa haka group Ruatāhuna Korosins.
“It will be interesting, but nevertheless kāore i mate. That’s synonymous to saying what will the language be like in 20 years? My response will be "kāore i mate, ka ora haere tonu te kapa haka, te whanau, te iwi, te hapu” - Te Maakarini Temara.
Te Whāruarua o Ruatoki hosted this year’s Mataatua Regional Kapa Haka, which hundreds attended over two days in mid-April. The regionals is the qualifying rounds to compete at the biennial national kapa haka competition Te Matatini.
Tame Iti recalls a time when there was friendly competition in the area between neighbouring iwi and hapū. Although he has a background in theatre, Tame took kapa haka and skills in Mau Rakau with him when he moved to the South Island for the Maori Trades Training Scheme in the 1970s.
In 2014 The Ministry of Culture and Heritage and Te Matatini launched a research report about the benefits of kapa haka and its role both on and off the stage. The report looked into the social, health and economic values that stemmed from kapa haka.
Te Matatini 2017 will be held in Hastings. The next regional competitions will be held on May 21 in Christchurch, June 11 for the Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland) groups and on June 18 in Whanganui.
