Employment and living of over 60-year-olds: With the onset of the pandemic, also older employees worked more remotely than before

Abstract

"The Covid 19-pandemic hit people over 60 years of age multiple times. On the one hand, because of their higher risk for a severe course of infection. On the other hand, the decline in the firm labor demand as a result of contact restrictions had a particular impact on atypical employment: This also includes mini-jobs, which are a frequent form of employment, especially for older employees and pension recipients. Using data from the IAB, the authors examine pandemic-related changes in various employment and living situations of 60- to 70-year-old workers." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
