| Annotation | The 2001 Stockholm European Council agreed that half of the European Union (EU) population aged 55-64 should be in employment by 2010. The 2002 Barcelona European Council concluded that "a progressive increase of about 5 years in the effective average age at which people should stop work should be sought by 2010". This communication reports on progress towards the Stockholm and Barcelona targets, the key conditions for fostering the employment of older workers, and the activities of some EU member states in active ageing. Statistics and graphs illustrate trends in the employment rates of older workers, the average exit age from the labour force, and part-time hours of work. (RH). |
