abstract: 'Extending working lives has been a major priority across the OECD to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mitigate the adverse effects of population ageing and declines in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working-age population. Despite significant increases in labour force
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation rates of older workers aged 55-64, a key challenge facing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policymakers is to promote retention and job-to-job mobility of older
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers. Job stability (as measured by job tenure) is falling across
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
many OECD countries and older workers are less likely to change jobs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
than their younger counterparts. While there is no optimal level of job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mobility or length of job tenure - and there are costs and benefits for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers and firms to both - structural changes such as technological
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
change will exacerbate the need for mobility and flexibility at middle
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and older ages. At the same time, low retention rates and persistently
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
high-long-term unemployment rates among this group illustrate greater
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
need for employers and governments to do more to support older workers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to keep their jobs. Achieving this will require a comprehensive approach
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by all stakeholders including better management of age-diverse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workforces in the workplace, removing institutional barriers to

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

continued employment and improving the employability of workers

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
throughout their working lives by, for example, promoting better

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
op-portunities for lifelong learning and improving job quality.'
