Subject background
Due to demographic changes across Europe, often referred to as the ‘ageing society’, there are strong political interests in maintaining the labour force by prolonging working life, through decreasing early exit from work and increasing the actual retirement age. However, not everyone are willing to – or able to – work until a high age. Exit from work is a complex and dynamic process, involving different factors (e.g., push, pull, stay factors) at different levels (individual, workplace, society). This course will bring together researchers and practitioners working in the field of prolonging working life for senior workers and increase the participant’s knowledge on push and stay factors for labour market participation.
