Active strategies for older workers
This book sets out to describe how, in nine EU countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands), social partners and governments have been successful in increasing the employment rates of older workers, or have failed to do so. Different paths have been tried out in different countries, some with more success than others. The book highlights good and bad practices in the field of employment, training, social protection and taxation policies. Current policies are evaluated and proposals are made for further successful action. Amongst major reforms discussed, the book refers to the development of systems of partial, phased, progressive or flexible retirement.
