| Annotation | The working age population in Europe and the Baltic Sea region will decline significantly in the next few decades. A European Union (EU) INTERREG Project, the Best Agers Lighthouses is a partnership of six countries (Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Germany), with the aim of creating and promoting advantages of age management in small and medium-sized enterprises and public organisations. The project ran from 2012 to 2014, and worked with Wirtschaftsakademie Schleswig-Holstein to find ways of meeting the demographic challenges with effective business strategies. Older people (those aged 55+) will play an even more important part in the work process. This report considers demographic change in small and medium enterpreses (SMEs) in the region, and presents 8 case studies. It describes and evaluates the age management interventions, which include changes of employees' and managers' opinions, and use of intervention diaries and cost-benefit analysis. It makes recommendations for employers, social partners and policy-makers. The importance of employers valuing older employees is stressed. Two inserts accompany this report: 'Ageing workforces in the Baltic Sea Region: recommendations for social partners and policy-makers', and 'Age management in practice: recommendations for employers'.
