Older people to be encouraged to work for longer

Feb 09, 2012 More people must be encouraged to work into older age and we should also be prepared to retrain or change professions or careers during our working lives.

Young, middle-aged or old?

Feb 09, 2012 How old do you have to be to be considered old? What constitutes as old varies a lot between different European countries.

Age is no barrier

Feb 23, 2017 We must demystify old age. That was the message at the Copenhagen conference marking the beginning of the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity Between Generations 2012. Europe’s age distribution is rapidly changing. The Danish Minster for Employment, Mette Frederiksen, pointed out there will be fewer young people in the labour market than people outside as early as in 2017. She said older people need to work a bit longer. The demographic challenges were also top of the agenda when Sweden’s Prime minister invited nine of his colleagues to the Northern Future Forum.

The Nordic Labour Journal focuses on points of view and debates emerging from our changing demographics.
