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.

Big five personality traits and retirement decisions (2022)
Zitatform
Lucifora, Claudio & Martina Repetto (2022): Big five personality traits and retirement decisions. In: Labour, Jg. 36, H. 1, S. 1-28. DOI:10.1111/labr.12210
Abstract
"We estimate the effect of the Big Five personality traits on the retirement decisions of individuals aged between 50 and 80 years in fourteen European countries, using wave 7 from the SHARE data. We investigate the probability of retirement and a measure of the distance between actual retirement and ordinary retirement age. Overall, we find that personality affects retirement decisions, and the effects are similar across gender. Openness to experience, conscientiousness and extraversion are generally associated with a delay in retirement decisions, whereas neuroticism anticipates the exit from the labour market."

Labor Market Participation of Older Workers in International Comparison (2021)
Zitatform
Walwei, Ulrich & Jürgen Deller (2021): Labor Market Participation of Older Workers in International Comparison. (IAB-Discussion Paper 16/2021), Nürnberg, 26 S.
Abstract
"Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich aus einer international vergleichenden Perspektive mit Treibern und Hemmnissen der Arbeitsmarktpartizipation von Älteren. Der Fokus der Studie richtet sich auf Länderbeispiele, die prototypisch für bestimmte Kontexte stehen. Ausgehend von unterschiedlichen Rahmenbedingungen am Arbeitsmarkt und wohlfahrtsstaatlichen Regulierungen in Europa und benachbarten Ländern wurden mit Deutschland, Israel, Italien und Schweden vier Länder ausgewählt, in denen der Entwicklung und Situation älterer Beschäftigter am Arbeitsmarkt nachgegangen wird. Jedes der ausgewählten Länder steht für eine spezifische Konstellation, sei es, dass eine Trendwende erreicht wurde, ein langfristig hoher Beschäftigungsstand realisiert werden konnte oder anhaltende Probleme zu beobachten sind. Die Fallbeispiele befassen sich u.a. mit rentenpolitischen Reformen sowie arbeitsmarktpolitischen Ansätzen zum Management alternder Belegschaften. Sie zeigen, dass es keinen Königsweg zur Verbesserung der Arbeitsmarktsituation Älterer gibt. Unabhängig von staatlichen Politiken kommt der Entwicklung der Beschäftigungsfähigkeit über den Lebenszyklus große Bedeutung bei. Mit Blick auf zukünftige Entwicklungen sind geeignete betriebliche Praktiken für das Management alternder Belegschaften unverzichtbar. Entscheidend sind dabei insbesondere Initiativen, die auf ein lebenslanges Lernen und ein gesundes Arbeitsumfeld zielen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"In diesem Artikel wird untersucht, inwieweit Instrumentensubstitution unter Möglichkeiten zum frühen Austritt in Europa zwischen 1995 und 2015 zum Einsatz kam. Anhand von aggregierten Eurostat‐Daten über Nichterwerbsquoten und Beschäftigungsquoten unter der Bevölkerung von 55 bis 64 Jahren in 19 europäischen Staaten analysieren wir Substitutionseffekte zwischen Austrittswegen und Gesamtausstrahlungseffekte in die Nichterwerbstätigkeit. Trotz eines starken Rückgangs des vorzeitigen Ausscheidens und des Anstiegs der Beschäftigungsquote von älteren Arbeitnehmern weisen die Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass Instrumentensubstitution insbesondere zwischen Frührente und Invalidität geläufig war. Die Abnahme des frühen Ausscheidens fiel mit erheblichen Ausstrahlungseffekten in Nichterwerbstätigkeit zusammen. Dabei war diese Ausstrahlung jedoch geringer, wenn der Zugang zu alternativen Instrumenten gleichzeitig erschwert wurde." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku, Published by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons)

Comparing occupational welfare in Europe: The case of occupational pensions (2018)

Pavolini, Emmanuele & Martin Seeleib-Kaiser (2018): Comparing occupational welfare in Europe: The case of occupational pensions. In: Social policy and administration, Jg. 52, H. 2, S. 477-490. DOI:10.1111/spol.12378
Abstract
"The article provides an assessment to what extent reforms of occupational pensions (OP) have fostered a 'risk shift' or increased social protection dualism across countries. The essay focuses on workers, whilst previous research primarily analyzed provision for current pensioners. The empirical analysis confirms that in countries such as the Netherlands and Sweden, increased private pension or (OP) provision does not necessarily lead towards social protection dualism and comprehensive risk shifts. Britain continues to be characterized by strong social protection dualism and entrenched social divides, creating 'social policy enclaves'. Divisions of welfare are also very likely to be a feature of the German pension system in the future. The latter two countries have witnessed clear risk shifts and processes of dualization. The pension systems in Austria, Italy, and Spain have not witnessed paradigmatic changes, and continue to be primarily based on public/statutory pension schemes. The idea that multi-pillarization in itself fosters major risk shifts and dualization has to be reconsidered. Under specific conditions, encompassing OPs can be functionally equivalent to public pension schemes. However, countries relying on voluntarism with regard to OPs coverage tend to witness processes of dualization." (Author's abstract, Published by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons) ((en))

Retirement rigidities and the gap between effective and desired labour supply by older workers (2018)
Zitatform
Trucchi, Serena, Elsa Fornero & Mariacristina Rossi (2018): Retirement rigidities and the gap between effective and desired labour supply by older workers. In: IZA journal of labor policy, Jg. 7, S. 1-19. DOI:10.1186/s40173-018-0103-y
Abstract
"Our paper analyses the observed and desired labour supply by older workers and (recent) retirees in a country (Italy) with limited opportunities for flexible work schedules. To this purpose, we use a dataset drawn from the Bank of Italy's Survey on Household Income and Wealth providing information on desired and actual working hours. Our empirical analysis documents the gap between older individuals' desired and observed labour supply at both the extensive and the intensive margins and traces it back to gender, education and family composition. The paper provides useful insights into the potential usefulness of policies such as gradual retirement and part-time work in increasing older workers' employment."

Turbulence and the employment experience of older workers (2016)

Lalé, Etienne (2016): Turbulence and the employment experience of older workers. (IZA discussion paper 10061), Bonn, 52 S.
Abstract
"This paper provides a unified account of the trends in unemployment and labor force participation pertaining to the employment experience of older male workers during the past half-century. We build an equilibrium life-cycle model with labor-market frictions and an operative labor supply margin, wherein economic turbulence à la Ljungqvist and Sargent (1998) interact with institutions in ways that deteriorate employment. The model explains simultaneously: (i) the fall in labor force participation in the United States, (ii) the similar but more pronounced decline in Europe alongside rising unemployment rates and (iii) differences across European countries in the role played respectively by unemployment and labor force participation. The model also shows that policies that fostered early retirement may have exacerbated the deterioration of European labor markets: raising early retirement incentives to reduce unemployment among older workers tends to increase unemployment at younger ages, especially in turbulent economic times and under stringent employment protection legislation."

Cumulative (dis)advantage? The impact of labour market policies on late career employment from a life course perspective (2015)
Zitatform
Bennett, Jenny & Katja Möhring (2015): Cumulative (dis)advantage? The impact of labour market policies on late career employment from a life course perspective. In: Journal of social policy, Jg. 44, H. 2, S. 213-233. DOI:10.1017/S0047279414000816
Abstract
"We investigate the labour market situation of older individuals in Europe in relation to their previous employment history as well as the regulations relating to employment protection legislation and early retirement. Specifically, we look at the competing risks of early retirement and late career unemployment. The central research question is whether policy effects differ according to the characteristics of an individual's previous work history. We employ data for twelve European countries from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARELIFE) and estimate multilevel regression models. The results show different mechanisms for the risks of unemployment and early retirement. Late career unemployment results from individual factors related to fragmented careers, marginal employment and short tenures. In the case of early retirement, we find the interplay of individual and policy factors to be crucial. Persons with consistent careers have an increased probability of early retirement, but only in countries with generous early retirement benefits. However, employment protection legislation appears to counteract early retirement for this group of individuals. We conclude that policy factors do not have uniform effects for older individuals, but should rather be viewed against the background of previous developments in individual career paths."

Arbeitslosigkeit und Frührente älterer Personen in Europa: die Rolle von Arbeitsmarkt- und Rentenpolitik aus der Lebenslaufperspektive (2015)

Möhring, Katja & Jenny Bennett (2015): Arbeitslosigkeit und Frührente älterer Personen in Europa. Die Rolle von Arbeitsmarkt- und Rentenpolitik aus der Lebenslaufperspektive. In: Zeitschrift für Sozialreform, Jg. 61, H. 4, S. 379-402. DOI:10.1515/zsr-2015-0403
Abstract
"Wir untersuchen aus einer Lebenslaufperspektive die Arbeitsmarktsituation älterer Personen im internationalen Vergleich und beziehen dabei sowohl Frühverrentung als auch Arbeitslosigkeit ein. Zentrale Hypothese unserer Analyse ist, dass die Wirkung von Sozialpolitik auf die Beschäftigungschancen Älterer nicht einheitlich ist, sondern von der individuellen vorangegangenen Erwerbsbiografie abhängt. Datengrundlage ist der 'Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe', insbesondere die Lebenslaufdaten der dritten Welle (SHARELIFE, 2008/09) aus zwölf europäischen Ländern. Unsere Analysegruppe sind männliche Befragte ab 50 Jahren. Als kontextuelle Faktoren beziehen wir institutionelle Frühverrentungsanreize sowie Kündigungsschutzregelungen ein. Um Interaktionseffekte zwischen sozialpolitischen und individuellen Charakteristika zu schätzen, verwenden wir Mehrebenen-Regressionen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen unterschiedliche Mechanismen für Arbeitslosigkeit und Frührente. Unterschiede im Arbeitslosigkeitsrisiko Älterer sind vor allem auf individuelle Faktoren zurückzuführen; Personen mit vormals instabilen Erwerbsverläufen und epischer Beschäftigung sind besonders betroffen. Das Gegenteil trifft auf Frühverrentung zu: Personen mit stabilen Erwerbskarrieren in regulärer Beschäftigung weisen hierfür eine höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit auf Dieser Zusammenhang wird durch generöse Frühverrentungsmöglichkeiten zusätzlich verstärkt. Strikte Kündigungsschutzregelungen erhöhen dagegen die Beschäftigungswahrscheinlichkeit von Personen mit stabilen Erwerbsverläufen, allerdings nur, wenn die institutionalisierten Frühverrentungsanreize dem nicht entgegenwirken."

Determinants of early retirement preferences in Europe: the role of grandparenthood (2013)
Zitatform
Hochman, Oshrat & Noah Lewin-Epstein (2013): Determinants of early retirement preferences in Europe. The role of grandparenthood. In: International Journal of Comparative Sociology, Jg. 54, H. 1, S. 29-47. DOI:10.1177/0020715213480977
Abstract
"Various family characteristics are acknowledged as important determinants of retirement preferences. Yet, the relevance of the third family generation - the grandchildren - has been largely overlooked. In this article we bring the association between grandparenthood and retirement preferences to the fore. We expect to find such a relationship for two main reasons: first, rising participation rates in the labor market, especially among mothers, increases the need for childcare which, in some countries, is only partially provided by the state. Second, for many people grandparenthood marks the transition to a new phase in the life-course, implying new role-identities. We thus expect grandparenthood to decrease anxieties associated with retirement and with the potential loss of one's role-identity as a working person. We test the association between grandparenthood and retirement preferences using data from the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The findings confirm that grandparenthood increases an individual's chances of looking forward to retiring early, thus supporting the claim that individuals' lives are linked to the lives of their family members. Contrary to expectations, the association of grandparenthood with retirement preferences is particularly strong in countries that provide extensive childcare support."

The transition from work to retirement (2011)
Eichhorst, Werner;Zitatform
Eichhorst, Werner (2011): The transition from work to retirement. (IZA discussion paper 5490), Bonn, 25 S.
Abstract
"The European Employment Strategy has set the goal of raising the retirement age of workers in the EU through a strategy of 'active ageing'. Yet despite some progress over the last decade, empirical data show persistent diversity across EU member states. Institutional arrangements of social and labor market policies can be seen as the core factors behind cross-national diversity. Hence, institutional change is crucial to explain structural changes. The paper tries to assess the role of supranational policy initiatives and national politicoeconomic factors in shaping the transition from work to retirement in EU member states which is still governed by the national political economy. Taking the German case as an example in point, the paper shows the dynamic interaction between policy changes, in particular in benefit systems and activation, and changes in the approach of firms and workers to early retirement. Policy changes influence actors' behavior in the medium run and open up opportunities for subsequent reforms." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Ageing and unused capacity in Europe: is there an early retirement trap? (2009)

Angelini, Viola, Agar Brugiavini & Guglielmo Weber (2009): Ageing and unused capacity in Europe: is there an early retirement trap? In: Economic policy, Jg. 24, H. 59, S. 463-508.
Abstract
"We address the issue of how early retirement may interact with limited use of financial markets in producing financial hardship later in life, when some risks (such as long-term care) are not insured. We argue that the presence of financially attractive early retirement schemes in a world of imperfect financial and insurance markets can lead to an 'early retirement trap'. Indeed, Europe witnesses many (early) retired individuals in financial distress. In our analysis we use data on 10 European countries, which differ in their pension and welfare systems, in prevailing retirement age and in households' access to financial markets. We find evidence that an early retirement trap exists, particularly in some Southern and Central European countries: people who retired early in life are more likely to be in financial hardship in the long run. Our analysis implies that governments should stop making early retirement attractive, let retirees go back to work, improve access to financial markets and make sure long-term care problems are adequately insured."

Social security programs and retirement around the world: the relationship to youth employment. Introduction and summary (2009)

Gruber, Jonathan, Kevin Milligan & David A. Wise (2009): Social security programs and retirement around the world. The relationship to youth employment. Introduction and summary. (NBER working paper 14647), Cambridge, Mass., 74 S. DOI:10.3386/w14647
Abstract
"This is the introduction and summary to the fourth phase of an ongoing project on Social Security Programs and Retirement Around the World. The first phase described the retirement incentives inherent in plan provisions and documented the strong relationship across countries between social security incentives to retire and the proportion of older persons out of the labor force. The second phase documented the large effects that changing plan provisions would have on the labor force participation of older workers. The third phase demonstrated the consequent fiscal implications that extending labor force participation would have on net program costs-reducing government social security benefit payments and increasing government tax revenues. This volume presents the results of analyses of the relationship between the labor force participation of older persons and the labor force participation of younger persons in twelve countries. Why countries introduced plan provisions that encouraged older persons to leave the labor force is unclear. After the fact, it is now often claimed that these provisions were introduced to provide more jobs for the young, assuming that fewer older persons in the labor force would open up more job opportunities for the young. Now, the same reasoning is often used to argue against efforts in the same countries to reduce or eliminate the incentives for older persons to leave the labor force, claiming that the consequent increase in the employment of older person would reduce the employment of younger persons. The validity of such claims is addressed in this volume." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Labour force participation of the elderly in Europe: the importance of being healthy (2005)

Kalwij, Adriaan & Frederic Vermeulen (2005): Labour force participation of the elderly in Europe. The importance of being healthy. (IZA discussion paper 1887), Bonn, 30 S.
Abstract
"In this paper we study labour force participation behaviour of individuals aged 50-64 in 11 European countries. The data are drawn from the new Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The empirical analysis shows that health is multi-dimensional, in the sense that different health indicators have their own significant impact on individuals' participation decisions. Health effects differ markedly between countries. A counterfactual exercise shows that improved health conditions may yield over 10 percentage points higher participation rates for men in countries like Austria, Germany and Spain, and for females in the Netherlands and Sweden. Moreover, we show that the declining health condition with age accounts considerably for the decline in participation rates with age." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

(2004): Ageing and the transition to retirement. A comparative analysis of European welfare states. (New perspectives on ageing and later life), Aldershot u.a.: Asgate, 295 S.
Abstract
"There are two conflicting trends in Europe: a demographic shift towards population ageing, and a massive decrease in the labour force participation of older workers (aged 50 years and over). This book offers a refined and authoritative understanding of these trends and the two socio-economic concerns of most European welfare states that have been re-enforced as a consequence. These are: the increasing costs for welfare states to finance 'pathways' from employment to official retirement, and the threat of labour market shortages in the near future as a result of both the ageing process and the early exit of older workers. A variety of new policy initiatives can be observed emerging from these changes in many European countries - this book examines the different welfare state arrangements in nine EU countries plus Hungary, Slovenia and Norway. It considers ways of integrating older workers in the labour market along with differing perspectives on the relation between ageing and work." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (2004): Ageing and employment policies. Italy. (Ageing and employment policies), Paris, 129 S.
Abstract
Die Bevölkerungen Italiens ist eine der ältesten in der OECD: 30 Prozent der italienischen Bevölkerung war im Jahre 2000 65 Jahre alt oder älter, im Jahre 2050 werden es vermutlich doppelt so viele sein. Vor dem Hintergrund dieses demographischen Wandels wird die Arbeitsmarktsituation älterer Arbeitnehmer in Italien untersucht. Die Erwerbsquote älterer Arbeitnehmer liegt mit 56 Prozent für Männer und 27 Prozent für Frauen unter dem OECD-Durchschnitt. Auf der Seite des Arbeitskräfteangebots müssen Barrieren für die Erwerbsbeteiliung älterer Menschen beseitigt werden; in Hinblick auf die Arbeitskräftenachfrage muss die Beschäftigungsfähigkeit älterer Abeitskräfte gefördert werden. Anzeize zur Erhöhung der Erwerbsbeteiligung älterer Arbeitnehmer sollen mit ihrer sozialer Sicherung kombiniert werden. Ein zentrale Rolle spielen dabei die Rentenreformen der 1990er Jahre. (IAB)
