Employment and labour market policies for an ageing workforce and initiatives at the workplace

Follow up study in 2007  9 years later  of companies in Greece and their policies and practices towards older workers. Findings – The lower educational levels of Greek older workers, compared with most EU countries, and the abolition of secure employment will make them increasingly vulnerable in the future labour market. Current levels of investment in training will not rectify this and life long learning is still not being implemented. Whether self-employment can be the solution is dubious, due to the changing economic climate and increased competition.
