This article discusses the relationship between the “aging” of labor and technological changes in the modern economy. The author analyzes the increase in demand for robots both in production and in society due to an increase in the number of older workers. Increasing the average age of the population in developed countries and the Russian Federation is already a major factor in the transformation of the world economy. The “graying” of the labor force necessitates changes in both organizational and managerial decisions at the enterprise level and in the macroeconomic policy of the state. These changes should optimally link two real trends in the improvement of modern production: a) the growth in the use of artificial intelligence, automation and robotization of production processes, the digital economy; b) the aging of the labor force in all developed countries and the Russian Federation. Supporting only one trend does not allow the national economy to remain competitive in the global market. The author, on the basis of inter-country analysis, reveals a new approach to the organization of labor of older workers, based on modern technologies of organization and personnel management in the company. The state should ensure the creation of a favorable environment for the work of older workers, which allows to overcome the adverse economic and social consequences of the aging workforce.
