The OECD team would like to thank AARP for sharing their comments and expertise. The report also benefited greatly from discussions and insights collected during five virtual meetings with members of the learning collaborative Living, Learning and Earning Longer (LLEL, https://www.aarpinternational.org/initiatives/future-of-work/living-learning-and-earning-longer). The LLEL has engaged over 100 corporate executives from around the world to identify and share multigenerational, inclusive workforce practices, reimagining what it means to earn and learn over a lifetime.
