| Annotation | The report sets out the context of an ageing society across Europe. It considers the case for extending working lives, and the role of European Union (EU) institutions in this. In order to achieve this, these challenges must be overcome: gender equality; adding to the skills of the older workforce; supporting older people in the recession; matching the demand and supply of older workers; tackling ageism; and improving health. Using examples from the country profiles (available in a separate appendix), the authors have identified a number of themes for the EU and Member State policymakers to consider. The report concludes with a set of recommendations for policy-makers across Europe: taking a life course approach; better use of fiscal incentives; creating more, better and appropriate jobs; tackling inequalities; and a targeted research agenda.
