Towards age-friendly work in Europe: a life-course perspective on work and ageing from EU Agencies
30 Jun 2017 10:50 AM
A new report, coordinated by EU-OSHA, shows how information from 4 agencies can support policy-making that is both complementary and greater than the sum of its parts. The report covers the different challenges associated with the ageing workforce and considers innovative solutions.
- EU-OSHA presents policy examples of integrated approaches to occupational safety and health for an ageing workforce.
- Eurofound examines working conditions for workers of all ages, related work sustainability outcomes and how the right policies can foster longer working lives.
- Cedefop explores how vocational education and training can be used to support active ageing at work.
- EIGE provides a gender perspective on the issue of the ageing workforce and discusses the different challenges that men and women face.
The report also outlines the impact of long-term demographic trends on employment, and examines lifelong participation in learning. This is followed by a call for active ageing solutions that ensure older workers remain active, skilled and employed.
