abstract: 'Objective: To analyse the use of part-time work among older workers with
|
|
|
|
disabilities compared with their non-disabled counterparts within a
|
|
|
|
European context. Study design: Cross-sectional.
|
|
|
|
Methods: Data were drawn from the 2004 Survey of Health, Ageing and
|
|
|
|
Retirement in Europe. The key advantage of this dataset is that it
|
|
|
|
provides a harmonized cross-national dimension, and contains information
|
|
|
|
for European individuals aged 50 years or over on a wide range of health
|
|
|
|
indicators, disability, socio-economic situation, social relations, etc.
|
|
|
|
Results: Older people with disabilities (aged 50-64 years) are more
|
|
|
|
likely to have a part-time job compared with their non-disabled
|
|
|
|
counterparts. Although there is an important employment gap between the
|
|
|
|
two groups, many older workers with disabilities use part-time work to
|
|
|
|
achieve a better balance between their health status and working life.
|
|
|
|
The econometric analysis corroborated that being disabled has a positive
|
|
|
|
effect on the probability of working on a part-time basis, although this
|
|
|
|
effect varies by country.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: Policy makers must encourage part-time employment as a
|
|
|
|
means of increasing employment opportunities for older workers with
|
|
|
|
disabilities, and support gradual retirement opportunities with flexible
|
|
|
|
and reduced working hours. It is crucial to change attitudes towards
|
|
|
|
older people with disabilities in order to increase their labour
|
|
|
|
participation and reduce their levels of poverty and marginalization.
