In the framework of the international project AGEADAPT, realised under the Erasmus+ program and focused on the ageing workforce, a "Summary report on the current state of age-management", which maps the situation in 5 partner countries in small and medium-sized enterprises, has been produced. As the analysis of data in all partner countries shows, age-management and the adaptation of seniors to work is a very important topic and all stakeholders are increasingly aware that good policies to this extent can be very beneficial. There is a growing awareness of the need for systematic age-management in SMEs. The number of seniors is growing every year, our society is aging and therefore it is important to apply age-management in every organization, not just in some of them.  Many managers and those responsible for the recruitment and adaptation of new employees in the workplace are still not sufficiently aware of age-management. This document forms the basis for the creation of a set of best practices on age management, a handbook with a set of practical tools for owners and managers of SMEs, and a digital learning platform on age-management.
