From an international comparative point of view the paper deals with driving forces and potential obstacles for the labour market participation of older workers. It goes into depth by focusing on four case studies that seem to be typical for different contexts. Germany, Israel, Italy and Sweden were selected in order to examine the development and the situation of older workers in detail. Each country stands for a specific configuration, e.g. because it may represent a trend reversal, a continuously outstanding performance, or lasting problems. The cases also provde information on pension reforms and approaches to better manage ageing workforces, in some cases including a new balance of work and retirement. Being aware of the different country situations, it becomes obvious that one size of politics does not fit all. Independent of national policies, employability over the life cycle should gain more attention. Regarding future developments, continuous skill improvement and a healthy work environment are indispensable to keep older workers in work.

“…Comparing Ethiopian immigrants' relative wages in the United States and Israel to examine the importance of countries' immigration contexts in labour market outcomes is only valid if the two countries are, on average, similar in other respects. Like Cohen and Haberfeld's (2007) study comparing the economic outcomes of immigrants from the former Soviet Union (FSU) in the United States and Israel, we base our comparison on these two countries because they not only have similar Ethiopian immigrant populations, but also have similar economies and labour market structures (Larom & Lifshitz, 2018). Both the United States and Israel are considered free market economies (OECD, 2016b) with relatively high employment rates among the foreign‐born (OECD, 2016a).…”

Country context, race and wages: A comparative analysis of Ethiopian immigrant labour market integration in the United States and Israel

American immigration policy debates focus on immigrants' (lack of) labour market success. While research shows that Black African immigrants experience the largest wage disadvantage, studies rarely discuss whether country‐context—formed by immigration policy and migration history—matters for their wages and whether race matters differently across place. We use Israeli and US data to determine whether Ethiopian immigrants are most disadvantaged across country contexts. Our results indicate that Ethiopian immigrants' credentials are higher in the United States, but that does not lead to higher relative wages than in Israel. Because we find that Ethiopian immigrants who are most similar to the native‐born earn nearly identical wages to the most marginalized groups in both countries, it is clear that country context plays only a small role in wage disparities. Instead, discrimination and unobserved differences between groups are most important.
