Ageing, skills and participation in work-related training in Britain: assessing the position of older workers

Abstract: Policy makers have introduced a number of measures to encourage older workers to stay in the labour market, with improving access to training a particular priority. Policy action appeared justified by evidence that older workers are less likely to participate in training, and more likely to have never been offered training by employers -a key finding of Taylor and Urwin's

“…This decreases the benefits for employers to provide these practices and make these investments. In line with this argument, prior research shows that employers are reluctant to invest in their older personnel's employability (Canduela et al 2012, Chui, Chan, Snape and Redman 2001, De Vries et al 2001, Henkens 2005, Karpinska, Henkens and Schippers 2011, Taylor and Walker 1998, Van Dalen, Henkens and Schippers 2010. Despite this general reluctance, there are several explanations under which employability-enhancing investments take place.…”

“…Often, it is assumed that by participating in formal training and courses, workers remain deployable within and across organizations (De Vries et al 2001, Groot and Maassen van den Brink 2000, Picchio and Van Ours 2011). However, research shows that older workers report a low participation in these 'general' forms of employability-enhancing practices (Antikainen 2001, Bishop 1996, Canduela, Dutton, Johnson, Lindsay, McQuaid and Reaside 2012, Van Dalen, Henkens, Henderikse and Schippers 2006. It is argued that increasing workers' employability through training or the participation in courses might be aimed towards younger workers, while older workers have different needs in order to sustain their employability and work capacity (Hedge, Borman andLammlein 2006, Tamkin andHillage 1999).…”

“…Resumindo, os resultados da presente análise mostraram que a escolaridade e a autoavaliação de saúde foram os fatores mais consistentemente associados à condição de ter trabalho remunerado em faixas etárias de transição para a aposentadoria, em consonância com estudos conduzidos em outras populações 5,6,7,8,9,10 . Nossos resultados acrescentam por mostrar diferenças marcantes entre homens e mulheres nessas associações.…”

“…Outro fator consistentemente descrito como associado à permanência dos idosos no mercado de trabalho em países de alta renda é a escolaridade, com maiores participações entre aqueles com escolaridade mais alta 8,9,10 . Um estudo recente, baseado em amostra nacional representativa de ingleses com 50 anos ou mais de idade, revelou um aumento da permanência no mercado de trabalho em anos recentes, sobretudo nas coortes de nascimento mais jovens.…”
