Working life changes and training of older workers

Objetivo



From the points of view of education, training and learning among older (45+) workers the research project Older Workers and a Changing Working Life focuses on individual and organizational effects, needs and opportunities emanating from the intersection of two trends in society: The ageing of populations and changes in working life. The development and learning of old and young workers are studied within the context of work organisations. With this focus the issues of knowledge, skills, learning, values, attitudes and behaviour of the ageing workforce will be examined. Case studies of good practice in educational and training interventions in different work places will be evaluated.

The key objectives of the research project are:

1. To investigate the extent to which the knowledge, skills, experience, and attitudes of older workers can be recognised, valued and utilized in work and learning situations.

2. To investigate the ways in which older workers learn within work settings.
3. To investigate the extent to which human resource development practice and educational interventions involving older workers can facilitate lifelong learning and productivity.

4. To investigate the ways in which the diversity of the workforce in terms of age and acquisition of knowledge, skills, experience and attitudes can contribute to the development of learning organizations in the work context and, more generally, to the creation of the learning society.
5. To demonstrate through case study and comparative analysis of good practice in different countries the ways in which the above objectives can contribute to the flexibility and productivity of the European older workforce and to social cohesion generally.

To achieve these objectives, cases of work organizations representing different work types (industrial work, office work, service work) in small and larger SMEs will be selected in each participating country. The research work (quantitative and qualitative) will comprise:

a. descriptive studies of knowledge, skills, experience, attitudes, work contexts and involvements in formal and informal learning of individual older workers

b. introduction, monitoring and evaluation of work-based education and training interventions and human resource development practices (including some based on use of new information technology)

c. dissemination of new knowledge through professional and academic journals, project newsletters, development of materials, scientific and professional conferences and meetings, and through the active involvement of local organisations, social partners and policy-makers in discussions of implementation and strategies.
