There are two conflicting trends in Europe: a demographic shift
towards population ageing, and a massive decrease in the labour
force participation of older workers (aged 50 years and over). This
captivating book offers a refined and authoritative understanding
of these trends and the two socio-economic concerns of most
European welfare states that have been re-enforced as a
consequence. These are: the increasing costs for welfare states to
finance 'pathways' from employment to official retirement, and the
threat of labour market shortages in the near future as a result of
both the ageing process and the early exit of older workers. A
variety of new policy initiatives can be observed emerging from
these changes in many European countries - this book examines the
different welfare state arrangements in nine EU countries plus
Hungary, Slovenia and Norway. It considers ways of integrating
older workers in the labour market along with differing
perspectives on the relation between ageing and work.
