Research:

On 21 February, research report underlining the need for reforms at every level to achieve the multitude of benefits gained from active ageing in the workplace was launched by the European Policy Centre (EPC)-Bertelsmann Stiftung. The report, entitled “Creating Second Career Labour Markets - Towards more Employment Opportunities for Older Workers” was prepared in the framework of the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations 2012. It aims to stimulate debate on active ageing at work by identifying, analysing and comparing good practices among actors responsible at EU member-state level for creating job opportunities for older workers, including governments, social partners and companies and provides a set of policy recommendations to progress this important issue.
