Increasing Employment of Older Workers through Lifelong Learning Statements and Comments
نویسنده
چکیده
To understand the situation of older workers in Germany today, five relevant trends and facts have to be mentioned. They refer (1) to demographic challenges in terms of declining and ageing of the workforce, (2) unfavourable overall working conditions for older workers, (3) promising perspectives for future employment chances, (4) changes in the official retirement policies in order to meet the demographic challenges and financial pressure on the social security systems and (5) new approaches in the legal labour-market policy in order to better re-integrate older unemployed. Apart from explicit labour-market initiatives (see below) there is no special policy approach on the Federal level aiming at promoting life long learning for older workers (employed and unemployed) in Germany.
