El paper de la interacció social en el procés de sortida del rol laboral. La jubilació primerenca com a exemple.
2010
El procés d'envelliment a Europa dóna lloc a canvis importants en la composició de la força laboral que plantegen nous desafiaments als diversos agents socials, les empreses, l'administració pública i els treballadors mateixos. Aquesta situació ha fet sorgir un interès cada cop major per entendre el procés que du les persones a jubilar-se abans de temps. La investigació en aquest àmbit ha partit de dues perspectives. Una perspectiva considera la jubilació primerenca com un fenomen involuntari i que és resultat de les polítiques socials i dels acords entre l'empresa, l'administració i els sindicats per fer front a problemes estructurals. L'altra perspectiva, tot i que considera també els efe…
Who turns to entrepreneurship later in life? - Push and pull in Finnish rural and urban areas
2014
Age is an important factor in entrepreneurship. The paths into entrepreneurship at a later age may be varied. Self-employment in later life may be either a form of partial retirement or a career option. Older individuals may also be pushed into self-employment.

Although some studies have focused on transitions to self-employment among older workers, que…

Poziom akceptacji wartości witalnych i estetycznych a stereotypowe myślenie o starszych pracownikach studentów kierunków Ekonomia i Zarządzanie
2019
A growing number of old employees should be employed in future organisations, particularly in highly developed countries, and because of at least two reasons. First, the populations of many countries are aging. Second, the time of remaining active on the labour market is prolonging. The barriers for older workers on this market include age stereotypes regarding such workers. Therefore, it is important to know individual characteristics that are associated with stereotyped thinking about older workers. This paper presents the results of the research related to the relations between such thinking and two personal values. The results of the statistical analysis indicate that persons with low a…
"Hyvät käytännöt ovat hyviä iästä riippumatta!" Työmarkkinajärjestöjen ikääntyviä työntekijöitä koskevan politiikan ja käytäntöjen vertailu
2012
Näyttää siltä, että työmarkkinajärjestöjen aktiivinen ikäpolitiikka on keskittynyt lähinnä eläkepolitiikkaa koskeviin kysymyksiin. Vaikka koulutukseen, osaamiseen ja urakehitykseen liittyvä elinikäisen oppimisen politiikka on työmarkkinajärjestöjen toiminnassa myös keskeisesti läsnä, on se tapahtunut ikäpolitiikasta erillään. nonPeerReviewed
