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. This may pose both challenges and opportunities for societies, workplaces, and individuals. The SeniorWorkingLife (Danish: SeniorArbejdsLiv) project investigates push and stay mechanisms for labour market participation - now and in the future - among older workers (≥50 years).
In July 2018, 30,000 Danes age 50 or older (18,000 employed, 7000 unemployed, 3000 voluntary early retirements, 2000 disability pensions) were invited to participate, of which 15,721 (52.4%) replied to the entire questionnaire and 17,885 (59.6%) replied at least in part. Baseline data collection was terminated in October 2018. The questionnaire covers 14 domains in relation to push and stay mechanisms for labour market participation: 1) basic information (demographics, employment status etc.), 2) multiple-choice question covering a wide range of push and stay mechanisms, 3) role of the workplace, 4) age-discrimination, 5) personal economy, 6) possibility for voluntary early retirement among employed and unemployed, 7) gradual retirement, 8) competencies and continued education, 9) return-to-work, 10) new technologies at the workplace, 11) job satisfaction and well-being, 12) working environment, 13) lifestyle, 14) health and functional capacity. The project aspires to repeat the survey as a prospective cohort every 2-3 years and to perform longitudinal follow-up in Danish high-quality registers about work and health.
The SeniorWorkingLife project will provide important knowledge about push and stay mechanisms for labour market participation among older workers. Push refers to mechanisms that increase the risk of premature exit from the labour marker, e.g. due to poor health, poor working environment, age discrimination, and stay to mechanisms prolonging working life e.g. due to attractive working conditions and a good working environment. The project will also to some degree investigate stuck, pull and jump mechanisms. Collaboration and use of the data for scientific purposes by other researchers are encouraged.

由于欧洲人口结构的变化,通过延长工作寿命(即提高退休年龄)来维持劳动力的政治意愿非常强烈。这可能给社会、工作场所和个人带来挑战和机遇。SeniorWorkingLife(丹麦语:SeniorArbejdsLiv)项目研究了在现在和未来,老年工人(≥50 岁)参与劳动力市场的推动和保持机制。
2018 年 7 月,邀请了 30000 名 50 岁或以上的丹麦人(18000 名在职,7000 名失业,3000 名自愿提前退休,2000 名残疾抚恤金领取者)参与,其中 15721 人(52.4%)回复了整个问卷,17885 人(59.6%)至少部分回复。基线数据收集于 2018 年 10 月结束。问卷涵盖了与劳动力市场参与的推动和保持机制相关的 14 个领域:1)基本信息(人口统计学、就业状况等);2)涵盖广泛推动和保持机制的多项选择题;3)工作场所的作用;4)年龄歧视;5)个人经济;6)在职和失业人员自愿提前退休的可能性;7)逐步退休;8)能力和继续教育;9)重返工作岗位;10)工作场所的新技术;11)工作满意度和幸福感;12)工作环境;13)生活方式;14)健康和功能能力。该项目计划每 2-3 年重复一次作为前瞻性队列调查,并在丹麦高质量的工作和健康登记处进行纵向随访。
SeniorWorkingLife 项目将提供有关老年工人参与劳动力市场的推动和保持机制的重要知识。推动是指增加过早退出劳动力市场风险的机制,例如由于健康状况不佳、工作环境恶劣、年龄歧视以及由于工作条件有吸引力和工作环境良好而延长工作寿命的机制。该项目还将在一定程度上调查陷入困境、拉动和跳跃机制。鼓励合作并允许其他研究人员使用这些数据进行科学研究。有兴趣的研究人员应联系相应的作者。
