Older Workers Are Building New Tech Skills, AARP-LinkedIn Research Finds.

Exclusive study shows those age 50-plus are gaining ground on younger groups.

By Kenneth Terrell, AARP. Published December 09, 2025.

One key to getting a new job now is showing that you know your way around new technologies such as generative AI. An exclusive new report from LinkedIn and AARP reveals that workers ages 50 and older are keeping up, essentially closing the tech gap with their younger peers.

For the study, researchers analyzed data from LinkedIn’s platform, including user profiles and LinkedIn Learning trainings, to see how workers from different age groups are helping each other — and their employers — grow. The study found that workers 50 and older bring stability, leadership and adaptability to the workplace, skills that not only boost their individual careers but also strengthen mixed-age teams, develop younger workers' skills and help businesses manage challenges.
