Ältere ArbeitnehmerInnen/Arbeitsmarkt

The FACTAGE project examines emerging inequalities in Europe’s ageing societies, with a specific focus on labour markets, (healthy) life expectancy and subjective well-being. The FACTAGE consortium recognizes these as major societal challenges which can be addressed by innovative evidence-based policymaking. The aim is to identify policies that can best promote fairness within and between generations.

Mit dem Projekt AFTER.WORK initiierte das Unabhängige LandesFreiwilligenzentrum (ULF) ein oberösterreichweites Programm, das aktives Altern und lebenslanges Lernen durch freiwilliges Engagement fördert. Das Potential älterer Menschen, deren Erfahrungen und Kompetenzen ein beachtliches Kapital für unsere Gesellschaft darstellen, wird hier in den Fokus gerückt. Das ULF will dazu motivieren, diesen Ideen- und Erfahrungsreichtum einzubringen und zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Background
In 2010 the World Health Organisation launched the initiative ‘Age-friendly World’. The vision is to reshape all towns and regions into living spaces in which to grow old. The project ‘Age-friendly Region’ will contribute to bringing this vision to the Austrian-Hungarian border region by improving the situation of older people in need of care. The project will develop new approaches so that older people in need of care and their relatives can better cope within their familiar context to enjoy an appropriate quality of life in old age.
