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, exit from work is a complex and dynamic process, involving different factors (e.g., push, pull, stay factors) at different levels (individual, workplace, society).

The PEROSH project ‘Prolonging Working Life’ was initiated in 2018 and aims to determine push and stay factors regarding labour market participation of elderly workers across different European countries. The project wants to support and improve initiatives for preserving elderly workers at the labour market across Europe, considering different regulations and cultures.

As part of the project, the 1st International Conference for the PEROSH institutions and close collaborators was held in May 2020, as an online meeting, arranged by the National Research Centre for the Working Environment (NFA) in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The 2nd International PEROSH Conference will be arranged by the National Institute of Occupational Health (STAMI) in Oslo, Norway, 21–22 September 2022, as a hybrid conference, i.e. a physical meeting with possibility of online participation. Presenters should preferably participate physically, if possible. Participants can freely choose to participate online or physically. The aim of this conference is to share knowledge and stimulate networking within the PEROSH institutions about the topic of prolonging working life.

Location Online or at the National Institute of Occupational Health (STAMI), Oslo, Norway.

Cost Physical participation, including lunch, coffee/tea and dinner: 1200 NOK.
Online participation is free.
