Bosnia and Herzogovina

Abstract

Similar to other European countries experiencing growth in their 65+ populations, Bosnia and Herzegovina have also been affected by an intensive population ageing process. This national phenomenon affects the pension system, the health system and the labour market. A brief description of extending working life in the socioeconomic context in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including gendered statistics on employment for older workers and pension coverage, is presented in this chapter. There is a discussion on extended working life policies, pension reforms, pensions systems and policy, and relevant employment and health policies for older workers. Flexible employment policies and training for older workers have not yet been introduced in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Future policy recommendations are also discussed.
