It is clear that there are two conflicting trends in Europe.
Firstly, a demographic shift towards population ageing and
secondly, a massive decrease in the labour force participation of
older workers (aged 50 years and over). Both trends have
re-enforced two socio-economic concerns of most European welfare
states. 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.
European countries. After years of excluding older workers from the
labour market, we can now observe a trend in many countries to
re-integrate them again. The combination of two trends, an ageing
society and the massive early exit from the labour market of past
decades, have also resulted in re-definitions of the social meaning
of ageing, older workers, the transition from work to retirement
and - on a more general level - the meaning of social citizenship.
ways the end of the working life is organized under different
welfare state arrangements in ten EU countries plus Hungary,
Slovakia and Norway. The authors consider: how changes in work and
the life-course affect the relationship between ageing and work;
which pathways out of the working life are available and what
programmes or initiatives have been developed to change early exit
into late exit or to re-integrate older workers in the labour
market; and what the individual perspective on the relation between
ageing and work is and how different institutions design the life
course.
