“…1 In West Germany, between 1970 and 2000 the labor force participation rate of men aged 60 to 64 has sharply declined by 37 percentage points (from 70% to 33%) and the rate of men aged 55 to 59 has decreased by 10 percentage points to 78% (Clemens, Künemund, and Parey, 2003). This reflects the propensity among older workers to retire early.…”

“…Since then, older workers face different legitimate possibilities to work part-time and to retire before the regular retirement age (65 for men and women). In the following years these regulations led to a reduction in the average age of retirement of men (women) from 62.2 (61.6) years in 1973 to 59.8 (60.5) years in 2000 (Clemens et al, 2003).…”

This paper analyzes the determinants of computer use by male employees and estimates the impact of computer use on the employment status for older workers, based on individual data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). In line with previous research on the diffusion of new technologies, a strong and negative relationship between the age of workers and computer use is found. The correlation of educational level and occupational status on computer use is significantly positive. However, the estimated impact of computer use on the change in employment status of older workers becomes insignificant when controlling for individual and firm-specific characteristics.JEL-Classification: J14, J26, O33

“…4 However, the last of the four points becomes less important if (technological) skills are rapidly depreciating (Bellmann and Leber, 2004). In addition, recent studies find evidence that older workers are not necessarily less but rather differently qualified than younger workers (Clemens, Künemund, and Parey, 2003). Pack et al (1999) suppose that not age itself makes older workers less productive, but inappropriate working conditions.…”

In Germany, the relative labor supply of people over fifty is increasing due to the shift in demographics. At the same time, the ongoing technological change is often supposed to be age-biased, thereby leading to a decreasing demand for older workers. Thus, labor supply and labor demand developments with regard to older workers are moving in opposite directions. Providing older workers with IT training could be an appropriate means of increasing their IT skills and thereby enhancing their productivity and employability.The empirical study is based on data of more than 1,000 firms belonging to the German manufacturing sector and selected services sectors, taken from the , the results show that a firm's IT intensity plays a crucial role: firms intensively using information technologies employ a significantly smaller proportion of older workers than firms that are less IT-intensive. However, higher participation rates of older workers in IT training are related to a larger proportion of older workers within firms. It turns out that this effect is of particular importance in firms that intensively use IT.
