reasoning_content:
The target word is "particular" in context: "with particular attention paid to proposals for removing age barriers."

This is the phrase "particular attention paid to" — meaning special/especial attention, surpassing what is common or usual. The example for sense 3 is exactly "he paid especial attention to her" — synonyms especial, exceptional, special. That matches "particular attention paid to."

Sense 1: unique or specific to a person/thing/category — "the particular demands of the job" — not quite.
Sense 3: surpassing what is common or usual — especial attention — matches perfectly.

The context: "age barriers" in job recruitment and training, especially for older workers; retention, reintegration and retraining of older workers. The target word in phrase "age barriers" refers to barriers based on how old people are / time of life defined in years. Need choose best sense.

Candidate senses:
1 how long something has existed (object age) not fit.
2 era of history no.
3 a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises; examples school age, tall for his eld. This is chronological age as a stage/qualification. "age barriers" are barriers related to chronological age / age criteria in recruitment/training, especially older workers. Could be sense 3 (time of life in years at which qualification arises) or sense 5 late time of life. The phrase includes especially older workers, but "age barriers" generally discrimination based on age, not only old age. The project concerned older workers but documents characteristics of age barriers in job recruitment/training. In WSD, target "age" in "age barriers" likely means the length of time a person has lived / time of life. Among options, sense 3 is best: a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some particular qualification or power arises (e.g., school age, retirement age?); barriers arise at certain ages affecting qualification for jobs/training. Sense 5 is late time of life specifically old age; context emphasizes older workers but "age barriers" not solely late life. Need single best: 3.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "older" in the given context.

The context is about age barriers in job recruitment and training, combat age barriers especially for older workers, retention/reintegration/retraining of older workers.

"Older workers" here refers to workers who are advanced in years - elderly/senior workers. This is about age discrimination against older people in employment.

Candidate senses:
1. older%5:00:00:old:02 - advanced in years; synonyms aged, elderly, senior. Examples: aged members of society, elderly residents. This fits "older workers" = workers advanced in years.
2. older of two persons same name (Sr.) - doesn't fit.
3. experienced - skilled through long experience - "the older soldiers" example. Hmm, "older workers" could potentially mean experienced? But context is about age barriers, early retirement, redundancy - clearly about age, not experience. The phrase "older workers" in employment discrimination context means aged/elderly workers.
4. old having lived long time - similar but sense 1 is specifically "older" comparative with aged/elderly/senior synonyms.
5. of long duration not new - no.
6. familiar emphasis - no.
7. duplicate of 3.
8. erstwhile - no.
9. honest-to-god - no.
10. early stage - no.
11. previous - no.

The best sense is 1: advanced in years; aged, elderly, senior. The context explicitly discusses "age barriers", "early retirement", and "older workers" as a demographic facing age discrimination. Sense 1's synonyms (aged, elderly, senior) match perfectly.

Need to return only JSON object with sense_index. The index is 1.

This matches sense 1: "at or near the beginning of a period of time or course of events or before the usual or expected time". The example "early morning" is before usual, "early warning" before expected. Early retirement = before the usual retirement age. Sense 1 best.

Sense 4 "very young" at an early age - not retirement. Sense 6 expected near future - no. Answer JSON only.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform word sense disambiguation for "retirement" in the given context.

Context: "Seeking alternatives to early retirement and redundancy, the project is primarily concerned with the retention, reintegration and retraining of older workers."

The word "retirement" here refers to early retirement - workers leaving their jobs/occupations early due to age barriers. This is about withdrawal from position/occupation.

Candidate senses:
1. the state of being retired from one's business or occupation
2. withdrawal from your position or occupation
3. withdrawal for prayer and study and meditation (religious retreat)

Sense 3 is clearly wrong (religious retreat).

Between 1 and 2:
- Sense 1: "the state of being retired" - a state/condition
- Sense 2: "withdrawal from your position or occupation" - the act/event of withdrawing

In "early retirement" - this typically refers to the act of retiring early / withdrawal from occupation early. "Alternatives to early retirement and redundancy" - retirement here is parallel to redundancy, both are events/processes of leaving employment. Redundancy is an event/act of being made redundant. Early retirement is the act of withdrawing from work early.

Actually, "early retirement" as a noun phrase often denotes the act/practice of retiring early. The context "seeking alternatives to early retirement" - alternatives to the practice/act of early withdrawal. Sense 2 "withdrawal from your position or occupation" fits better as it's the act.

Sense 1 is the state of being retired (the condition after retiring). But "early retirement" refers more to the act of retiring early, especially when seeking alternatives to it. You seek alternatives to the act of early retirement (being forced to leave), not alternatives to the state.

The best answer is sense 2.

reasoning_content: The context is about age discrimination against older workers. "Age discrimination" relates to a time of life / age. Candidates: sense 3 is a time of life (usually defined in years) at which some qualification arises, e.g., school age. Sense 5 is late time of life (old age). "Age discrimination" refers to discrimination based on how old someone is. The target instance: "how these relate to age discrimination". General age discrimination, often regarding older workers but not exclusively. WordNet has "ageism" maybe. Between 3 and 5: sense 3 is a time of life defined in years — chronological age. Sense 5 is specifically old age. Since "age discrimination" here concerns older workers primarily, but the term refers to age as a time of life. Most WSD datasets: age discrimination likely sense 3 (time of life). The phrase "age barriers", "older workers" — the discrimination is based on age, i.e., length of life / time of life. I'd pick 3.
