Arbeitsmarktpolitik für Ältere

Die Förderung der Beschäftigung Älterer steht auf der politischen Agenda. Wir benötigten angesichts des demografischen Wandels eine betriebliche Arbeitsmarktpolitik, die der Arbeitskräfteknappheit vorausschauend entgegenwirkt.

Die Infoplattform geht auf die arbeitsmarkt- und beschäftigungspolitischen Aspekte der Entwicklung des Arbeitsmarktes für Ältere ein.

    The Productivity of Unemployment and the Temporality of Employment-to-Come: Older Disadvantaged Job Seekers (2023)

    Gerrard, Jessica ; Watson, Juliet;

    Zitatform

    Gerrard, Jessica & Juliet Watson (2023): The Productivity of Unemployment and the Temporality of Employment-to-Come: Older Disadvantaged Job Seekers. In: Sociological research online, Jg. 28, H. 1, S. 21-36. DOI:10.1177/13607804211009534

    Abstract

    "This article demonstrates how unemployment is made productive through workfare activities for older disadvantaged job seekers. We suggest that the requirement to look for work, engage in education and training, and participate in voluntary work blurs the boundaries between employment and unemployment. Drawing on in-depth qualitative research with older disadvantaged job seekers, we demonstrate how this obligatory productivity is lived and felt, characterised by shame and frustration and framed by the temporality of waiting and searching for work. We suggest that this experience of ‘productive’ unemployment can be described as a dissonant state of ‘transitional stasis’, whereby job seekers are expected to transition out of unemployment and poverty while experiencing the long-term and ongoing effects of immobility."

    Beshears, John, James J. Choi, Joshua Hurwitz, David Laibson & Brigitte C. Madrian (2015): Liquidity in retirement savings systems. An international comparison. In: The American economic review, Jg. 105, H. 5, S. 420-425. DOI:10.1257/aer.p20151004

    Abstract

    "We compare the liquidity that six developed countries have built into their employer-based defined contribution (DC) retirement schemes. In Germany, Singapore, and the UK, withdrawals are essentially banned no matter what kind of transitory income shock the household realizes. By contrast, in Canada and Australia, liquidity is state-contingent. For a middle-income household, DC accounts are completely illiquid unless annual income falls substantially, in which case DC assets become highly liquid. The US stands alone in the universally high liquidity of its DC system: whether or not income falls, the penalties for early withdrawal are low or non-existent." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Overcoming the paradox of employers' views about older workers (2011)

    Billett, Stephen, Darryl Dymock, Greer Johnson & Greg Martin (2011): Overcoming the paradox of employers' views about older workers. In: The international journal of human resource management, Jg. 22, H. 6, S. 1248-1261. DOI:10.1080/09585192.2011.559097

    Abstract

    "In advanced and developing economies, ageing populations and low birth rates are emphasising the need for retaining and sustaining competent older workers. This paper examines human resource and governmental policy and practice implications from the contradictory accounts directed towards those workers aged over 44 years, who are usually classified as 'older workers'. It focuses on a key and paradoxical impediment in the workforce retention of these workers. Using Australia as a case study, this paper argues that policies and practices to retain and sustain workers aged 45 or more need to de-emphasise the term 'older workers' and reconsider how human resource management and government policies, as well as practices by workers themselves, might pursue longer and more productive working lives for employees aged over 45. It seeks to elaborate the paradox of the (under)valuing of older workers' contributions and provides direction for retaining and supporting the ongoing employability of these workers. It concludes by proposing that government, industry bodies and sector councils that seek to change employer attitudes will likely require a dual process comprising both engagement with older workers and a balanced appraisal of their worth. Alone, subsidies and/or mandation may well serve to entrench age bias without measures to redress that bias through a systematic appraisal of their current and potential contributions. In addition, to support this transformation of bias and sustain their employability, older workers will likely need to exercise greater agency in their work and learning."

    Women and retirement pensions: a research review (2009)

    Jefferson, Therese;

    Zitatform

    Jefferson, Therese (2009): Women and retirement pensions. A research review. In: Feminist economics, Jg. 15, H. 4, S. 115-145. DOI:10.1080/13545700903153963

    Abstract

    "The links between women's caring work and access to economic resources are particularly critical in the context of widespread public policy debates about retirement and pensions, many of which neglect care as a key issue for analysis. However, among feminist economists it is widely recognized that women's patterns of care provision have adverse implications for their access to economic resources in later life. The feminist economics literature examines many of the interactions between women's caring roles and their access to resources, particularly women's capacity to access economic resources through publicly mandated or regulated pension schemes. This article reviews research that places women's patterns of work and care at the center of analyses of retirement pension policy in an effort to provide a summary of research on gender and pensions policy and to contrast the extent to which differing institutional and policy frameworks accommodate women's caring roles."

    Ageing and employment policies: Australia (2005)

    Zitatform

    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (2005): Ageing and employment policies. Australia. (Ageing and employment policies), Paris, 164 S.

    Abstract

    "In the face of rapid population ageing and the trend towards early retirement, there is a need to promote better employment opportunities for older people. Much has been said about the need for reform of old-age pensions and early retirement schemes but this may not be sufficient to raise employment rates for older people significantly or to reduce the future risk of labour shortages. Both governments and firms will need to take active measures to adapt wage-setting practices to ageing workforces, to address the extent to which other welfare schemes act as pathways to early retirement, to tackle age discrimination and to improve the job skills and working conditions of older workers. In addition, older workers will need to change their own attitudes towards working longer and acquiring new skills. Little is known about what countries have been doing or should be doing in these areas. This report on Australia is part of a series of around 20 OECD country reports that are intended to fill this gap. Each report contains a survey of the main barriers to employment for older workers, an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of existing measures to overcome these barriers and a set of policy recommendations for further action by the public authorities and social partners. The chapters are about
    - the challenge ahead
    - the labour market situation of older workers
    - striking the right balance: income support and work incentives for older people
    - encouraging employers to retain and hire older people
    - helping older workers to carry on working
    - ensuring policies are comprehensive and coherent." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    New policies for older workers (2002)

    Taylor, Philip ;

    Zitatform

    Taylor, Philip (2002): New policies for older workers. (Transitions after 50 series), Bristol: Policy Press, 45 S.

    Abstract

    "Against a background of population ageing, policy makers in the majority of industrialised countries are developing policies aimed at extending working life and promoting the benefits of employing older workers. This report reviews developments in several countries and offers recommendations for public policy. Based on a review of recent literature and interviews with experts in Australia, Finland, Germany, Japan, The Netherlands and the USA, this report will be invaluable reading for policy makers, practitioners and campaigners."
