The article deals with the analysis of selected statistical indicators of the labour
market, namely the employment rate of the 55+ age group and the number of working-age
workers in the Slovak Republic. The aging population and labour shortages in the labour
market force employers to address the diversity of the age structure of their current as well as
potential employees. A properly designed age management system can give organizations a
competitive advantage in times of labour shortage. In addition to reducing the financial cost
of absenteeism and employee turnover, it will also contribute to increasing employee
motivation and performance and improving the overall functioning of processes within the
organization. The paper points to changes related to the demographic development of society
and its aim is to predict possible development of selected labour market indicators.
