<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Growing older is often associated with lagging behind and older workers are easily seen as obsolete. Obsolescence, however, involves a diffuse concept which has been described and assessed in different ways impeding a proper orientation on the meaning of obsolescence. In this contribution we will try to gain a better insight into the diffuse concept of obsolescence and also in related aspects, especially causes and effects of obsolescence. Generally speaking it is important to gain a better insight into the phenomenon of obsolescence, its determinants and effects at individual level. The aim of this contribution is an identification of the possibilities to carry our further empirical research into obsolescence among workers and associated factors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
