Betriebliche Weiterbildung für Ältere - eine Längsschnittanalyse mit den Daten des IAB-Betriebspanels

Abstract

"Previous empirical evidence shows that only a few firms offer further training for their older employees. While those studies focus on single years only, this paper has a longitudinal perspective. Using data from the IAB-Establishment Panel 2006-2011, it is shown that the share of German firms providing further training to their older employees increases when the observation period is enlarged. However, even in the long-term perspective we can still find almost the same factors explaining the provision of further training to older workers. Hence, the engagement in further training is higher in large, technically well-equipped firms which have high shares of qualified and older employees as well as an institutionalized human resource management."
