Personnel policies specifically for older workers can benefit both the older workers and their organization. It is often assumed that a higher percentage of older workers in an organization is associated with policies for older workers. We hypothesize that policies accommodating older workers, such as extra leave or a reduced workload, become unfeasible if the proportion of older workers is high. We pooled data from five datasets to study eleven older-worker policies in 7330 Dutch establishments. The results show that the number of implemented personnel policies for older workers is highest in establishments where 30-50% of the workers are 50 years and older. The number of implemented policies is lower in establishments with more older than younger workers. This pattern is found for most phasing out policies.
专门针对老年工人的人事政策对老年工人及其所在组织都有好处。人们通常认为，组织中老年工人的比例较高与针对老年工人的政策有关。我们假设，如果老年工人的比例较高，那么为老年工人提供便利的政策（如额外休假或减少工作量）就变得不可行。我们从五个数据集汇总数据，以研究荷兰 7330 家企业中的 11 项老年工人政策。结果表明，在有 30-50%的工人年满 50 岁的企业中，实施的老年工人人事政策最多。在老年工人多于年轻工人的企业中，实施的政策较少。这种模式适用于大多数逐步淘汰政策。
