Накратко на български

Инвестициите в уменията на по-възрастните служители и отношението на работодателите към тях определят кога човек ще се пенсионира. Това помага за създаването на по-ефективни политики за удължаване на работния живот в контекста на застаряващото население.

Longitudinal employer–employee perspectives on the role of human capital investments for retirement transitions

Most Western countries are developing policies to deal with the ongoing ageing of their population, including increasing retirement ages. Continuous acquisition and adjustment of skills in older age are considered necessary to extend working lives and postpone retirement. Despite the large budgets, European and national policy interventions have usually failed to stimulate lifelong learning (LLL) at older ages. One of the reasons for this has been an inadequate design of the policy programmes, which focuses primarily on individuals and neglects organisations. Employees must be willing and able to work longer in the context of changing labour markets, technological progress, and development knowledge economies. However, also employers must be willing and able to provide adequate opportunities for extended employment and manage older labour forces. This perspective characterises retirement as an effect of employer–employee relations, in which longer working lives depend on continuous development and adjustments of individuals’ skills and human resources management. The LEEP project investigated the role of human capital investments for retirement transitions, taking into account both the perspective of older workers and employers. It considers two areas as crucial for efficient ageing policies: LLL and organisational approaches that address older workers. The role of employers has been neglected in ageing research and by policy-makers and the LEEP project aimed to fill this gap. This study had an interdisciplinary scope that lies at the intersection of social gerontology, sociology, economy, management, demography, and education. It offered a comprehensive approach to integrate (1) individual and company perspectives theoretically and empirically in a system-level context; (2) a lifecourse approach, considering employment situation and retirement decisions of individuals as a part of life-trajectory; (3) and a comparative European perspective.

Цел на проекта

European and national ageing policies give high priority to increasing retirement age and employability of older people, but no effective solution exists. The project aims to provide practical recommendations based on evidence on the role of human capital investments (at individual and company level) for retirement transitions. This is still an understudied area in ageing research. It is also neglected by policy-makers who miss the fact that employees must be willing and able to work longer, and employers must be willing and able to provide adequate opportunities for extended employment. The project offers an innovative and comprehensive approach to integrate individual and company perspectives theoretically and empirically in a system-level context. It compares two countries that differ greatly across many aspects relevant to retirement decisions, this is Poland and the Netherlands. Empirical evidence is based on longitudinal (panel) data of individuals and employers (supplemented by cross-sectional data). The research adopts a lifecourse approach, considering employment situation and retirement decisions of individuals as a part of life-trajectory. The results will be intensively disseminated among scientist, experts, and policy-makers. They will be also communicated to older people, employers, training and development organisations. The researcher will be based in the 'Work & Retirement' group in NIDI (Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute, part of KNAW) – a leading international institute for population studies, particularly for research on employers’ attitudes and behaviours towards ageing workforce. Professor Kène Henkens, a renowned expert in research on ageing labour markets and retirement, will be the supervisor. Training and two-way knowledge transfer will focus in particular on skills in longitudinal statistics and writing, and on knowhow of project management.
