Due to demographic changes across Europe, there are strong political interests in maintaining the labour force by prolonging working life, i.e. increasing retirement age. Due to the strong political interests in all European countries, it is relevant for PEROSH to maintain collaborative activities in the research field ‘Prolonging working life’. The new PEROSH project will maintain and expand the existing research collaboration on this topic in PEROSH and serve as a strong platform for future collaboration in relation to Horizon2020 applications in this field.
The present PEROSH project, coordinated by NFA, aims to determine push and stay factors for labour market participation of older workers across different European countries with different regulations and cultures to thereby better guide initiatives for maintaining older workers at the labour market across Europe.
The expected outcomes of the project are:
- On the PEROSH website, an overview of projects at the PEROSH institutes about prolonging working life (short description, webpage link, target groups, type of study etc.).
- A list of questions relevant to prolonging working life that can be answered from the different existing European datasets.
- A list of research questions that can be compared in existing national datasets from the participating PEROSH institutes, i.e. where similar types of data are available in the different countries.
- Organize a conference in 2019 and 2021.
