A One-size-fits-all Solution for Increasing the Employment of Older People? Breakfast briefing Dr Paul Becker, Dr Andreas Edel Population Europe, Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research Stockholm, 28 /09/2018

Project Ageing Workforce, Social Cohesion and Sustainable Development. Political Challenges within the Baltic Sea States Financed by the Council of the Baltic Sea States from January – September 2018 High-level Policy Expert Meeting, Stockholm, 20 June 2018 Discussion paper with country reports Policy brief

Background Population Ageing is inevitable in most of the Baltic Sea States For the next decades, neither an increase in birth rates, nor increased immigration alone can substantially compensate for the effects of population ageing Increase of labour force participation: Better usage of the potentials we have, especially older workers and women

Retirement age Official / effective retirement age Life expectancy and retirement age Transition period to retirement Flexible retirement age Gender balance

Postponement of retirement Incentives (pension benefits) / objective factors (low pension levels and replacement rates, increasing household costs, and poverty risks) Disincentives of early retirement (qualification, pension penalties) / objective factors (unemployment, low socio-economic status, low job satisfaction / motivation) Labour market policy (public sector jobs, wage subsidies, tax benefits, part-time jobs)

Incentives to work after retirement Additional earnings / „On top“ earnings / informal labour market Gradual retirement Return-option (also periodically) Entrepreneurship, self-employment, contractual work Voluntary work Maximum working lifetime

Vulnerability Gender imbalances (motherhood penalty, gender pay gap, lower pension entitlements, work-care and work-family reconciliation) Accumulating poverty risks over lifetime (low socio-economic status and educational attainment, health deterioration, singles, divorced, unemployed) EU-Migrants, immigrants, refugees (required years of residence) Shift-workers, night-workers, freelancers, contract workers

Age management Lifelong learning (to be promoted in universities and highschools) and occupational training (particularly ICT) Mentoring (late career development plan, employability) Occupational health management / self-perceived health parameters / health training Assistive work equipment and age-friendly workplaces

Perceptions on Age and Ageism Expectations of individuals with regard to their own capacities later in life (early life-course perspectives, health deterioriation) Expectations of employers with regard to the performance of older employees (lower productivity, higher employment costs / seniority wages, more illness leaves) Management issues (age-mixed teams, knowledge transfer)

One-size-does not fit-all solutions Employers: Small and medium-sized enterprise, less- developed vs. metropolitan areas Employees: Vulnerable population, population diversity Subsidies for age-friendly employers Financial benefits for commuting workers Exemtions due to disability and earning capacity and within special branches

Conclusion: Policy recommendations Lifecourse perspective Measures to promote good health Support for life-long learning Flexible and gradual retirement schemes Adaptation of job conditions and workplaces to the needs of older persons Anti-age-discrimination policies Best practices in companies and branches
