| Annotation | The employment prospects of older workers in Germany are restricted because of age discrimination. The main indicator concerning recruitment is that from the age of 45 the difficulties in finding a new job rise extraordinarily and, accordingly, the duration of unemployment rises. There is a lack of participation by older workers in vocational training and, additionally, they face numerous risks in the deterioration of their skills. Given the long-term implication of the ageing labour force, employers must adapt their approaches to recruiting and training older workers to prevent a further loss of skills and know-how. A comprehensive strategy for integrating older workers and overcoming age-barriers in employment is required. (AKM). |
