AnnotationUsing Finland as a case study, this article argues that early retirement will probably no longer be used on a large scale to reduce older worker labour force participation and unemployment among older workers. Instead, new strategies are needed to enhance the ability of older workers to remain productive and in the labour force, and to facilitate the reintegration of unemployed older persons back into working life. Both tasks require massive pioneering efforts. Reducing unemployment rates among older workers, particularly, requires completely new kinds of labour market measures. (AKM).
