| Annotation | The European Union will face a shortage of workers in the future as fertility rates decline. At the same time, there will be a growing strain on social welfare systems as more people enjoy increased life expectancy. With the objective of raising employment rates of older people, the EU is promoting policies aimed at abolishing early retirement schemes, setting up more flexible working hours, improving health and safety, and developing access to lifelong learning. This report examines the measures taken by seven countries to target these objectives: France, the Netherlands, Spain, Finland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. It identifies successful elements in terms of quality of work and employment. It draws on a cross-section of experiences and social models representative of European diversity, and from data at European level. Company case examples illustrate these successes. (KJ/RH). |
