Recently, research on aging in the work-life context from the perspective of how to manage, support and retain an aging workforce has increased among management scholars, and therefore is contributing to the current societal need to extend work careers. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the articles discussing aging in the work-life context in the Finnish business magazine Talouselama (Economic Life) during the years 2002–2017.,A total of 81 articles were included in the analysis. They were classified into seven themes as a result of a content analysis. Three levels of discussions on aging were identified: societal, organizational and individual. These levels were further analyzed in order to revel what kind of issues have been emphasized or overlooked. The results were discussed in the context of Finnish work life.,The findings showed that aging has been presented in a passive and deterministic (or at least neutral) tone. Most of the articles focused on the consequences and actions related to an aging workforce at the societal level. At the individual level, aging was mainly discussed in terms of changes related to work ability and functioning, with aging individuals as the actors responsible for managing and controlling the effects of their own aging process. The organizational-level discussion on aging was limited and narrow, mostly lacking any discussion of the role of organizations as responsible actors or from the perspective of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).,Organizations could take a more active and broader role in terms of supporting the longer working careers of older employees. Professional magazines could deal more with “age-aware” research as it relates to organizations, especially the potential and opportunities of the aging workforce. Aging research could promote media level publishing and applications of knowledge.,Few critically oriented management studies have investigated how aging is presented and discussed in business magazines.

老龄化是商业杂志的主题：管理的机会还是威胁？

近年来，在管理学者中，从如何管理，支持和保留老龄劳动力的角度出发，对工作与生活中的老龄化的研究越来越多，因此正在满足当前扩大工作生涯的社会需求。本文的目的是分析2002-2017年间芬兰商业杂志Talouselama（经济生活）中有关工作-生活环境中的衰老的文章。该分析共包括81条。内容分析将它们分为七个主题。确定了关于衰老的三个层次的讨论：社会，组织和个人。对这些级别进行了进一步分析，以揭示哪些问题已被强调或忽略。在芬兰工作生活中对结果进行了讨论。研究结果表明，衰老是以被动和确定性（或至少是中性的）的方式呈现的。大多数文章集中在社会层面与老龄化劳动力相关的后果和行动。在个人层面上，主要根据与工作能力和功能有关的变化来讨论老龄化问题，其中老龄化个体是负责管理和控制其自身老龄化过程影响的参与者。在组织级别上，关于衰老的讨论是有限的，而且狭窄，大多数都没有讨论组织作为负责任角色的角色或从企业社会责任（CSR）的角度进行讨论。在支持方面，组织可以发挥更积极，更广泛的作用年长员工的职业生涯更长。专业杂志可以处理与组织有关的“年龄感知”研究，尤其是老龄化劳动力的潜力和机会。老化研究可以促进媒体水平的发布和知识的应用。很少有批判性的管理研究调查商业杂志中老化的呈现方式和讨论方式。
