Older Workers: The View of Dutch Employers in a European Perspective: Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute Books
Autor Wieteke Conenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2013
A timely overview of European employers’ attitudes toward older workers, this book closely analyzes the Dutch experience and comparative examples drawn from a range of other countries.
Wieteke Conen demonstrates that across Europe, and especially in the Netherlands, employers tend to blame higher labor costs and lower productivity on an aging workforce. As a result, they avoid hiring and—in some cases—retaining older workers, eschewing other strategies that might help bridge the perceived gap between costs and productivity. Exploring some of these alternative strategies, Older Workers reveals how employers and the government could increase labor force participation among this growing population.
