abstract: 'Objectives: To identify and track the progress of mature age workers who
|
||||
|
||||
have overcome barriers associated with their age. To identify factors
|
||||
|
||||
contributing to successful employment outcomes for older workers. To
|
||||
|
||||
evaluate the success rate of service providers in facilitating access to
|
||||
|
||||
the labour market for older workers.
|
||||
|
||||
Methods: Three job network providers were approached: Mission
|
||||
|
||||
Employment, Salvation Army Employment Plus and Work Ventures Inc. All
|
||||
|
||||
three agreed to provide addresses of clients aged 45 years and over to
|
||||
|
||||
be reached through a mail questionnaire. A total of 700 questionnaires
|
||||
|
||||
were dispatched anonymously with the cooperation of these three
|
||||
|
||||
organisations. A small number of follow-up interviews were also
|
||||
|
||||
conducted with survey respondents who indicated their willingness to be
|
||||
|
||||
interviewed, and had signed a consent form for this purpose. Several
|
||||
|
||||
interviews were also conducted with staff at the three cooperating
|
||||
|
||||
agencies.
|
||||
|
||||
Results: Of the 700 questionnaires dispatched, 163 were returned, giving
|
||||
|
||||
a response rate of 23\%. Among the respondents, 82 were employed at the
|
||||
|
||||
time and 81 were unemployed. There were approximately equal responses
|
||||
|
||||
from men and women. Of the 82 employed persons, 48 had obtained jobs
|
||||
|
||||
either through answering advertisements or through personal contacts.
|
||||
|
||||
Only 19 had obtained employment through a job network agency. The most
|
||||
|
||||
important barrier to employment was identified as age, followed by lack
|
||||
|
||||
of specialised skills.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusions: Early intervention is essential. The chances of
|
||||
|
||||
re-employment decline steadily with the duration of unemployment. Age
|
||||
|
||||
discrimination stands out as the major obstacle to re-employment for
|
||||
|
||||
older workers. Personal connections and specialised skills are more
|
||||
|
||||
important than the activities of job network agencies. Job seekers are
|
||||
|
||||
also handicapped by inflexibility in relation to training, travel to new
|
||||
|
||||
locations, and acceptance of a different kind of job.'
