Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Due to demographic changes across Europe there are strong political interests in maintaining the labour force by prolonging working life, i.e. increasing retirement age. The present study investigates push and stay mechanisms for labor market attachment among older (+50 yrs) workers or people who have recently retired.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Due to demographic changes across Europe there are strong political interests in maintaining the labour force by prolonging working life, i.e. increasing retirement age. The present study investigates push and stay mechanisms for labor market attachment among older workers or people who have recently retired. The study is a questionnaire survey, which is already funded. The ambition is to apply for further funding to do a cohort that is repeated every 2-3 years, as well as long-term register follow-up in Danish national registers about health and work.

The study has 4 target groups:

1. employed
2. unemployed
3. early retirement
4. disability pension

The questionnaire survey is sent to 30,000 Danish citizens and contains the following 14 areas:

1. Basic information (demographics, employment status etc.)
2. Broad overview of factors that may influence labor market attachment (health, working conditions, economic factors)
3. Role of the workplace
4. Age-discrimination
5. Economy
6. Specific questions about the possibility for 'early retirement' among employed and unemployed
7. Gradual retirement (e.g. possibility for reduced time or responsibility)
8. Competencies and continuing education/training of skills
9. Return-to-work
10. New technologies at the workplace
11. Job satisfaction and well-being
12. Working environment (physical, psychosocial etc.)
13. Lifestyle
14. Health and functional capacity

The study is supported by a grant from TrygFonden
