Tilia Boussios — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:54:39 GMT

Der vorliegende Projektbericht dient als Handlungsleitfaden für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen zur Gestaltung des demografischen Wandels. Im ersten Teil des Projektberichtes sind ausgewählte Instrumente und Gestaltungsansätze auf ihre Praxistauglichkeit und Anwendbarkeit hin überprüft und bezüglich ihrer Stärken und Schwächen aufbereitet worden. Ziel ist die Zusammenstellung eines Werkzeugkastens zur Gestaltung des demografischen Wandels. Im zweiten Teil sind die ausgewählten Instrumente des Werkzeugkastens in einem Handlungsleitfaden für betriebliche Akteure beschrieben (was ist zu tun, wann ist es zu tun, wie ist es zu tun, wer ist beteiligt). Der Schwerpunkt der Projektaktivitäten liegt im Bereich der alter(n)sflexiblen Arbeitsgestaltung. Mit Hilfe einer alter(n)skritischen Gefährdungsbeurteilung werden vorhandene Arbeitsplätze bewertet und Gestaltungsmaßnahmen abgeleitet. Die Gestaltungsnotwendigkeit wird in Form eines einfachen Ampelmodells aufgezeigt. Die Ergebnisse werden verknüpft mit der Altersstrukturanalyse und der Qualifikationsbedarfsanalyse des jeweiligen Arbeitsbereiches und im Zusammenhang interpretiert. Das Konzept ist mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten in jeweils 4 deutschen und niederländischen Unternehmen erprobt und im dritten Teil des Berichtes dokumentiert worden.

On the one hand it maps out the existing stereotypes by using a questionnaire, on the other hand these stereotypes at measured against existing scientific literature. The brochure was developed within the project CAPA "evolution of the physical and fysiological capacities in function of the age of the working population, with the support of the European Social Fund and the federal service 'werkgelegenheid, arbeid en sociaal overleg'. The scientific approach was garantueed by a partnership between the university of Ghent and the katholic university of Louvain-la-neuve.

Working conditions of an ageing workforce

Tilia Boussios — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:20:30 GMT

The findings show that improving working conditions leads to better job sustainability over the lifecycle, which in turn can prevent early exit from the labour market and encourage stronger participation rates among older workers. The analysis is based on findings from the fourth European Working Conditions Survey carried out in 31 countries, including the 27 EU Member States.
