Objective
Since the 1980s, many workers over the age of 45 in Europe have progressively been marginalised and excluded from the labour market, as they are considered unable to cope with the pace and nature of industrial change. Early retirement has given rise to a new social category - the senior worker who is no longer regarded as productively viable. Using the lifelong learning approach, this survey and analysis project aims to contribute to the research of new political/social solutions with regard to this social category.
An analysis of continuing training schemes will be conducted and several industrial case studies illustrating positive examples of reintegration will be examined in the four partner countries. The results will be discussed at an international convention with the participation of national and local institutions, social partners and training structures with the aim of disseminating successful experiences in the struggle against exclusion from active working life.
Impact
The results of this survey and analysis project will be used to draw the attention of national and local institutions to the importance of lifelong learning in the fight against social exclusion.
