EXTEND: Social inequalities in extending working lives of an ageing workforce

ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ

Europe is experiencing significant demographic change ¨C an ageing population, shrinking workforce and increased life expectancy. Consequently, there is a need to raise the activity rate of older workers in a way that is healthy and productive for them, their employers and nations as a whole. The major hurdle to this is the different contexts that workers find themselves in, in their respective countries. This project aims to examine inequalities in relation to extending working lives. It will measure these inequalities through a number of pertinent issues such as changes to retirement and pension policies, the health of older workers and retirees, skills and training, and regulative and legislative frameworks. The study will use the social services sector as a key example due to the barriers currently being faced by health and care professionals.
