Abstract
"Die Digitalisierung stellt neue Anforderungen an Arbeitnehende in sich wandelnden Berufen. Damit die Anpassung an neue Arbeitsanforerungen gelingt, kann Weiterbildung die zentrale Strategie für die Ausbildung neuer Kompetenzen sein – insbesondere für ältere Arbeitnehmende. Die Digitalisieung in der Arbeitswelt wirkt sich unterschiedlich auf männliche und weibliche ªrbeitnehmende aus. Bislang gibt es jedoch wenig Literatur zu der Beziehung zwischen der Digitalisierung in Berufen und der Teilnahme an Weiterbildungen. Dieser Artikel schließt diese Lücke und untersucht, (1) ob es einen Zusammenhang zwischen der Weiterbildungsbeteiligung und dem Ausmaß der Digitalisierung in den Berufen von Arbeitnehmenden in der zweiten Hälfte des Arbeitslebens gibt und (2) ob es einen Geschlechterunterschied in diesem Zusammenhang gibt. Darüber hinaus werden diese Fragen im Hinblick auf den Wunsch der Arbeitnehenden, an zukünftigen Weiterbildungen teilzunehmen, untersucht. Auf Basis von Daten des Deutschen Alterssurveys werden logistische Regressionen geschätzt und für soziodemografische, arbeitsmarkt- und beschäftigungsbezogene Merkmale von ªrbeitnehmenden im Alter von 43 bis 65 Jahren in Deutschland kontrolliert. Es zeigen sich positive Zusammenhänge zwischen einer Veränderung des Digitaliierungslevels in den Berufen und der (gewünschten) Weiterbildungsbeteiligung. Je ausgeprägter die Veränderung des Digitalisierungslevels in den Berufen, desto stärker scheinen weibliche Beschäftigte in der Weiterbildungsbeteiligung gegenüber Männern benachteiligt zu sein."

Abstract
"Work ability as a predictor of early retirement or lengthy/frequent sick leaves becomes more and more relevant due to the demographic change. Therefore, factors, which affect employees' work ability, need to be further examined with a theoretical base. According to Karasek's job demands–control (JDC) model, high job demands and low control are related to poor employee health. The subsequent job demands–control support (JDCS) model proposed that a lack of support, also from leaders, has a negative impact on health indicators. This article looked at whether destructive leadership reinforces the negative influence of high job demands on employees' work ability." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © Springer-Verlag) ((en))

Graying and Staying on the Job: The Welfare Implications of Employment Protection for Older Workers (2023)

Morris, Todd & Benoit Dostie (2023): Graying and Staying on the Job: The Welfare Implications of Employment Protection for Older Workers. (IZA discussion paper / Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit 16430), Bonn, 44 S.
Abstract
"We study the welfare implications of employment protection for older workers, exploiting recent bans on mandatory retirement across Canadian provinces. Using linked employer- employee tax data, we show that the bans cause large and similar reductions in job separation rates and retirement hazards at age 65, with further reductions at higher ages. The effects vary substantially across industries and firms, and around two-fifths of the adjustments occur between ban announcement and implementation dates. We find no evidence that the demand for older workers falls, but the welfare effects are mediated by spillovers on savings behavior, workplace injuries, and spousal retirement timing."

Rohrbacher, Max & Hans Martin Hasselhorn (2023): The contribution of work and health-related lifestyle to educational inequalities in physical health among older workers in Germany. A causal mediation analysis with data from the lidA cohort study. In: PLoS ONE, Jg. 18. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0285319
Abstract
"Objectives: The objective of the study was to investigate the contribution of work factors and health-related lifestyle to educational inequalities in physical health among older workers in Germany by applying causal mediation analysis with longitudinal data. Methods: Data from the German lidA study was used. 2653 persons (53% female, 47% male) aged 46 (born 1965) and 52 (born 1959) at baseline were followed up for seven years with exposure and outcome assessments in 2011 (t0), 2014 (t1) and 2018 (t2). The total effect of education on physical health was decomposed into a natural direct effect (NDE) and a natural indirect effect (NIE) by using a sex-stratified causal mediation analysis with an inverse odds weighting approach. Baseline health, partner status and working hours were entered as a first set of mediators preceding the putative mediators of interest. All analyses were adjusted for age and migrant status. Results: Independent of the first set of mediators, work factors explained 21% of educational inequalities in physical health between low and high educated women and 0% comparing moderate versus high educated women. The addition of health behaviors explained further 26% (low vs. high education) and 20% (moderate vs. high education), respectively. Among men, net of the first set of mediators, work factors explained 5% of educational inequalities in physical health between low and high educated and 6% comparing moderate versus high educated persons. Additional 24% (low vs. high education) and 27% (moderate vs. high education) were explained by adding health behaviors to the models. Conclusions: To reduce educational inequalities in physical health among older workers in Germany, interventions to promote healthy behaviors are promising. Improving working conditions is likely an important prerequisite." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"In light of a large proportion of older workers leaving the German labour market in the near future, policy makers aim to extend working lives to ensure sustainability of the social security system. In this context, safe and healthy working conditions are considered a precondition for encouraging employment participation. To understand better the role of the work environment in pre-retirement years, we draw upon an established model of five job quality profiles for the German ageing workforce. We explored seven-year profile development and linked selected manual and non-manual job quality trajectories to the motivation to work (MTW) using data from the 2011, 2014 and 2018 assessments of the lidA cohort study (valid N = 2,863). We found that older workers shifted to physically less-demanding profiles. Individual profile stability was prevalent among one-third of the workers. In 2018, there was a higher MTW when job quality remained favourable or improved early, while later improvements were associated with lower MTW. Early deterioration of job quality was associated with lower MTW levels among workers with non-manual trajectories only. The results highlight the dynamic job quality situation of the older German workforce and the importance of adopting a person-centred perspective when investigating working conditions and its effects. They further underline the need to consider quality of work when designing and implementing strategies to extend working lives." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper introduces a socio-economic perspective on the relationships of idiosyncratic deals (i.e. i-deals) with motivation to continue working beyond retirement. On the basis of work adjustment theory, we expected that i-deals enable employees to engage in innovative behavior and professional development, through which they experience more work engagement, subsequently facilitating higher motivation to continue working. Moreover, on the basis of signaling theory, we introduced two socio-economic factors to explain when i-deals are most effective in the context of the current study among teachers: municipal child population growth and municipal unemployment. A study among 1,210 teachers in the Netherlands was conducted to test the mediation and moderation model. Results show positive indirect relationships of growth i-deals with motivation to continue working through innovative work behavior, professional development and work engagement, while indirect relationships were negative for accommodative i-deals. Moreover, child population growth boosted the relationships of i-deals, while unemployment accentuated the effects of professional development. The study contributes to the literature by showing the importance of socio-economic factors in explaining the relationships of i-deals and individualized HRM." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"The proportion of older workers in the labor force is increasing. While much research over recent decades has suggested that this will create significant challenges for organizations, current evidence suggests that age-related human resource management practices are rare. Using a grounded theory approach, we examine why organizations are not adopting formal practices and what they are doing instead of using data from 43 interviews and focus groups within eight German and U.S. manufacturing facilities in 3 organizations. We find significant tension between perceptions of aging’s impact by top managers and unit supervisors. Lacking top-level formal support for age-related initiatives, our evidence shows supervisors adopting more informal, unit-level responses that do not require significant reorganization of work, masking the impact of workforce aging to top leaders. We also develop a typology of practices used to respond to workforce aging based on their effects on human capital flows in and out of the organization. Finally, we find that while aging is assessed similarly in the U.S. and Germany, German firms have greater flexibility and more formal practice options in their response due to employee relations systems, working time arrangements, and human resource planning systems which pressure organizations more to adopt formal practices. Our results inform a human capital perspective of the organizational response to workforce aging." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Whether increases to statutory retirement ages will have the anticipated effect in countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) depends on whether workers have the health capacity to postpone retirement. Methods that were proposed to measure the capacity to work at older age are ill-designed to assess inter-cohort trends, which is important for determining whether the amount of years spent retired and in good health is keeping up with increases in the statutory retirement age. We propose to measure the capacity to work as the amount of time that people would spend working if they kept working until poor health forces them to retire. We find that American workers born in 1936–1947 spent 9.4 years working between ages 55 and 69 but had the capacity to work an additional 3.3 years. We further find significant inter-cohort increases in the years spent working but insignificant ones in the years spent able to work, which might point toward a decrease in the years spent retired and in good health. Increases in the educational attainment of younger cohorts have had a positive effect on the capacity to work, but the expansion of obesity a negative one. Finally, we find similar trends among men and women as well as among Whites and non-Whites, although the capacity to work is much lower among non-Whites. Our results show the importance of considering inter-cohort changes in the capacity to work when designing policies that aim at inducing higher retirement ages." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"With the growing attachment of older workers to the labor force and their engagement in alternative work arrangements, it is important to investigate the characteristics of older cohorts of individuals who are in the labor market and the factors that influence job satisfaction, as job satisfaction may be a predictor of which older individuals are likely to continue to work and in what type of work arrangement. This study uses several recent years of the General Social Survey to both explore the characteristics of older workers and investigate what contributes to job satisfaction, controlling for both gender and work arrangement. It splits the sample of workers into two cohorts to test for differences in job satisfaction between those who are nearing retirement age (55-64) and those who continue to work post the traditional retirement age (65-80). For the sample as a whole, and similar to other studies, we find that job satisfaction is higher for women and for those who work in alternative work arrangements as compared to those in regular jobs. We also find that there are differences in what contributes to job satisfaction between the two groups of older workers. These outcomes may inform firms about what they might do in order to keep these workers as well as informing the government on whether it is necessary to rethink how some benefits are both provided and paid for."

Abstract
"This study exploits individual data from the 8th wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) and the SHARE Corona Survey to investigate the mental health consequences of COVID-19 job disruption across different European countries. It focuses on older workers (aged 50 and over) who were exposed to a higher risk of infection from COVID-19 and were also more vulnerable to the risk of long-term unemployment and permanent labour market exits during economic downturns. The relationship between job disruption in times of COVID-19 and older workers' mental health is investigated using differences in country-level employment legislation regimes in the EU. European countries are clustered into three macro-regions with high, intermediate and low employment regulatory protection regulations, using the Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) aggregate score proposed by the OECD. Results reveal a clear EPL gradient: job disruption has a positive and significant impact on older workers' psychological distress especially in those countries where EPL is more binding. The present findings suggest possible mitigating measures for older unemployed in the EU countries with higher Employment Protection legislation." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Die Globalisierung der Wirtschaft und der technische Fortschritt verändern die Arbeitsbedingungen der Beschäftigten, Digitalisierung und Flexibilisierung der Arbeit nehmen zu. Aufgrund des demografischen Wandels ist unter den Beschäftigten ein wachsender Anteil Älterer von diesen Veränderungen betroffen. Die Auswirkungen auf diese Gruppe sind noch nicht einzuschätzen. Potenziale zeichnen sich ebenso ab wie Risiken, sowohl für den Einzelnen als auch (in der Folge) für Unternehmen und Gesellschaft. Ziel dieses Projektes war es, aus Arbeitsschutzperspektive interdisziplinär zu untersuchen, wie sich aktuelle Aspekte des Wandels der Arbeit auf Gesundheit, Arbeitsfähigkeit und Erwerbsteilhabe bei Erwerbstätigen ab dem 46. Lebensjahr auswirken. In der seit 2009 laufenden repräsentativen lidA-Kohortenstudie (leben in der Arbeit - www.lida-studie.de) wurden sozialversichert Beschäftigte der Geburtsjahrgänge 1959 und 1965 (‚Babyboomer‘) in 3-Jahres-Abständen (NWelle1(2011) = 6.585, NWelle2(2014) = 4.244) zu Arbeit, Gesundheit, Erwerbsteilhabe und persönlichen Rahmenbedingungen befragt. Die dritte Erhebungswelle 2017 legte ihren Schwerpunkt auf die Themen Digitalisierung und Flexibilisierung der Arbeit im höheren Erwerbsalter, Erhalt der Beschäftigungsfähigkeit durch Tätigkeitswechsel sowie Teilhabe durch Arbeitsgestaltung zum Erhalt von Gesundheit und Arbeitsfähigkeit. Die Befunde und Erkenntnisse wurden aufbereitet für Fachpersonen, die mit betrieblicher Prävention und Arbeitsgestaltung befasst sind, die breitere Fachöffentlichkeit und die Wissenschaft."

"Digital skills are positively related to employment prospects and productivity of older workers. They also enable older workers to work in high-paying jobs. Fortunately, digital skills can be acquired and honed at all ages.

Abstract
"This study examines the effects of ageing on per capita labour income, consumption and wealth of the working population in Italian provinces. Starting from the overlapping generations (OLG) model of perpetual youth, we estimate a spatial vector autoregressive (VAR) model to investigate how ageing affects the model’s dynamics. We find that ageing positively impacts per capita labour income and wealth, consequently having an adverse effect on consumption (over-accumulation). A simple exercise shows that over-accumulation is beneficial to the Italian social security system." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

"Individuals’ cognitive skills can be improved through learning by doing various tasks at work. We report the results of studying rich information on job tasks performed at the individual level based on three measures of job task complexity: (i) overall job complexity, (ii) analytical task intensity, and (iii) interactive task intensity. Controlling for task selection, we show that both overall job task complexity and analytical tasks can contribute to the development of a worker’s cognitive skills, while interactive tasks play a less significant role. Furthermore, we find that complex job tasks can offset the effect of aging on cognitive functioning. We show the implications of our research results for work design, cognitive interventions, and retirement policies." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"It is increasingly urgent to retain older workers in the workforce. In the present study, we analysed the prospective associations between employees' perceptions of their managers' attitudes towards older workers, and of having experienced age discrimination in the labour market with the risk of loss of paid work before the state pension age. Questionnaire data from 10,320 currently employed workers aged 50 + on perceptions of managers' attitudes towards older workers and perceived age discrimination were collected at baseline in the SeniorWorkingLife study. Data on labour market affiliation were obtained from national registers at baseline and two-year follow-up. Results show that the perception of negative attitudes was prospectively associated with an increased risk of loss of paid work for three of the five negative attitudes “older workers create conflicts, their qualifications are outdated, and they cannot keep up with the pace and development”. Perception of positive attitudes was prospectively associated with a reduced risk of loss of paid work. The perception of age discrimination was prospectively associated with an increased risk of loss of paid work. The results strengthen existing evidence on associations between ageism and labour market attachment, by applying a longitudinal design and including actual change in labour market participation. However, some negative attitudes may be more detrimental to the older workers' labour market participation. Employees' positive perceptions of managers' attitudes reduced the risk. Good relations between employees and managers appear to be important for retaining older workers in the labour market." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

"In diesem Beitrag fragen wir nach den Gründen für das anhaltend frühe Erwerbsausstiegsalter eines großen Teils der Beschäftigten. Ausgangspunkt sind Konzepte zur Arbeits- und Beschäftigungsfähigkeit im Lebensverlauf. Unter der Beschäftigungsfähigkeit werden individuelle Voraussetzungen für eine generelle Teilhabe am Erwerbsleben summiert, also in gewisser Weise die Passung von Individuum und Arbeitsmarkt.02 Mit der Perspektive „dürfen“ betrachten wir dementsprechend zunächst den Arbeitsmarkt und die Beschäftigungspolitik der Betriebe gegenüber älteren Erwerbspersonen. Das Konzept der Arbeitsfähigkeit (work ability) adressiert die Gestaltungsebene von Erwerbsarbeit und umfasst die Faktoren, die eine Person in einer bestimmten beruflichen Situation in die Lage versetzen, ihre beruflichen Aufgaben erfolgreich zu bewältigen.03 Das Konzept strebt eine Balance zwischen beruflichen Anforderungen und Ressourcen wie Kompetenzen, Unterstützung durch Führungskräfte sowie Kolleginnen und Kollegen an und beschreibt dementsprechend, inwiefern Beschäftigte ihre konkreten Tätigkeiten ausüben „können“, analysiert also die qualifikatorischen und gesundheitlichen Voraussetzungen. Abschließend blicken wir auf die motivationalen Grundlagen der Erwerbsarbeit – das Arbeiten „Wollen“." (Textauszug, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"Europe's population is ageing. Statutory retirement ages are commonly raised to account for continuous increases in life expectancy. In order to estimate the potential to increase statutory and consequently effective retirement ages further, in this study, we investigate the relationship between partial working life expectancy (WLE) and three health expectancies that represent health aspects important for work ability and employability between ages 50 and 59 as well as 60 and 69 for women and men in Europe. We also explore the association between these four indicators and the highest level of educational attainment. We apply Sullivan's method to estimate WLE and three selected measures that capture general, physical, and cognitive health status of older adults for 26 European countries since 2004. Over time, WLEs increased significantly in the younger age group for women and in the older age group for both sexes. The expected number of years in good physical health have continuously been higher than any of the other three indicators, while the expected number of years in good cognitive health have shown a noticeable increase over time. The investigation of the relationship between education and each life expectancy confirms the well-established positive correlation between education and economic activity as well as good health. Our results indicate potential to extend working lives beyond current levels. However, significant differences in the expected number of years in good health between persons with different levels of education require policies that account for this heterogeneity."

Abstract
"Currently, the ageing population is getting higher attention in production systems due to the increasing percentage of the ageing workforce, which persists longer in the working environment. Older workers are more vulnerable because of a possible decrease in physical capacities but can have a higher experience level. It is important to evaluate these factors during production process decisions and adapt the working environment to such workers. In such a way, production systems performance and workers' well-being are jointly achieved. In companies aiming to include these aspects, digitalisation and automation can provide tools that can be used at tactical, strategic or operational levels. For example, at the operational level, wearable sensors, smart devices or trackers can be used in analysing the working time, effort and physical fatigue of operators via human-energy expenditure. These measures can be used to assess the required recovery time. However, the most challenging step is to include these measures in the decision-making process to organise the working process for operators according to their profiles and health restrictions. In this paper, we show how fatigue can be incorporated into operational processes such as scheduling in the context of a Dual-Resource Constrained (DRC) job shop. We consider several models to integrate rest allowance into the scheduling process and present a heuristic approach to assign operations to workers and machines. The impact of rest allowance on system performance is measured and managerial insights are provided." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Do Firms Hire Relatively More Older Workers?: Evidence from Germany (2021)

Busch, Fabian, Robert Fenge & Carsten Ochsen (2021): Do Firms Hire Relatively More Older Workers? Evidence from Germany. (HdBA discussion papers in labour economics / Hochschule der Bundesagentur für Arbeit 2021-05), Mannheim, 33 S.
Abstract
"This paper analyses how demographic changes affect the hiring of older workers. Do firms adjust their hiring behaviour to an ageing society? Combining data at the firm level and the administrative district level, we analyse the hiring behaviour of firms. Our findings suggest that firms with an ageing workforce hire relatively more older workers. Since the willingness to hire older workers also increases with the share of older unemployed, the propensity to employ older people does generally rise with an ageing labour force. Also, part-time employment induces firms to engage more older workers but this effect disappears for large firms. In contrast, partial retirement regulations have a negative effect on hiring older workers which reveals unintended incentives of the German law on this matter. Finally, firms with a higher share of educated personnel hire more older workers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
