Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unemployment compensation in the United States is provided through a federal-state system of unemployment insurance (UI). UI provides temporary partial wage replacement to active job seekers who are involuntarily out of work. For older workers, UI is an important source of income security and a potential influence on work incentives. For many, the transition from full-time work in a career job to retirement is voluntary and orderly. For others, job displacement greatly disrupts plans. The transition often involves many intermediate steps. The chain of transitions may include full- or part-time work on another job which most often is not in the same industry and occupation (a bridge job). There may also be movement between bridge jobs, perhaps back from a bridge job to a career job, and finally a gradual movement into full retirement while out of the labor force. Many issues at the forefront of current UI policy debate are also issues of prime importance to those in the second half of their working life. Issues occur in all the standard areas of UI policy: coverage, eligibility, benefit adequacy, duration of benefits, work incentives, benefit financing, and interaction with other programs. This paper provides a brief background sketch of the labor market situation of older workers to examine issues of prime concern to older workers in these areas of UI policy. Our survey of policy issues suggests that changes in UI rules concerning, initial eligibility, continuing eligibility, wage replacement, and partial benefits should all be examined to evaluate effects on the likely employment patterns of older workers. Particular attention should be given to UI features affecting the choice of self-employment, part-time work, seasonal work, and agricultural jobs. The financing consequences of possible UI program changes should also be estimated, as should the macroeconomic impact of broadening recipiency. UI program features which would promote flexible and extended labor force participation by older workers should also enrich the employment choice environment for other workers. Therefore, it would be useful to examine the impact of such program changes on UI as a built-in stabilizer of aggregate expenditures. While younger workers are usually committed to long-term participation in the labor force, older citizens are often more flexible in choosing to use their time. Worsening labor shortage conditions in the United States mean that efforts to retain older workers in the labor force will intensify. The current and potential influence of UI on the income security and labor force participation of older workers should be well understood.

This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirroring a worldwide phenomenon in industrialized nations, the U.S. is experiencing a change in its demographic structure known as population aging. Concern about the aging population tends to focus on the adequacy of Medicare and Social Security, retirement of older Americans, and the need to identify policies, programs, and strategies that address the health and safety needs of older workers. Older workers differ from their younger counterparts in a variety of physical, psychological, and social factors. Evaluating the extent, causes, and effects of these factors and improving the research and data systems necessary to address the health and safety needs of older workers may significantly impact both their ability to remain in the workforce and their well being in retirement. Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers provides an image of what is currently known about the health and safety needs of older workers and the research needed to encourage social polices that guarantee older workers a meaningful share of the nation's work opportunities.

Download or read book Long Term Effects of Extended Unemployment Benefits for Older Workers written by Tomi Kyyrä and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the long-term effects of extended unemployment benefits that older unemployed can collect until retirement in Finland. We consider a reform that increased the age threshold of this scheme from 55 to 57 for people born in 1950 or later. Our regression discontinuity estimates show that postponing eligibility by two years increased employment over the remaining working career by seven months. Despite the corresponding reduction in unemployment, we find no evidence of significant effects on mortality or receipt of disability and sickness benefits, nor on the spouse's labor supply. We also compute the fiscal impact of the reform taking into account income taxes and social security contributions paid and benefits received. The reform increased net income transfers by 15,000 Euros over the 10-year period for an average individual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on interdisciplinary, cross-national perspectives, this open access book contributes to the development of a coherent scientific discourse on social exclusion of older people. The book considers five domains of exclusion (services; economic; social relations; civic and socio-cultural; and community and spatial domains), with three chapters dedicated to analysing different dimensions of each exclusion domain. The book also examines the interrelationships between different forms of exclusion, and how outcomes and processes of different kinds of exclusion can be related to one another. In doing so, major cross-cutting themes, such as rights and identity, inclusive service infrastructures, and displacement of marginalised older adult groups, are considered. Finally, in a series of chapters written by international policy stakeholders and policy researchers, the book analyses key policies relevant to social exclusion and older people, including debates linked to sustainable development, EU policy and social rights, welfare and pensions systems, and planning and development. The book’s approach helps to illuminate the comprehensive multidimensionality of social exclusion, and provides insight into the relative nature of disadvantage in later life. With 77 contributors working across 28 nations, the book presents a forward-looking research agenda for social exclusion amongst older people, and will be an important resource for students, researchers and policy stakeholders working on ageing.

This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich VWL - Arbeitsmarktökonomik, Note: 2,0, Universität zu Köln, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Retirement from the labour market takes place regularly on the basis of the statutory retirement age or on the basis of early retirement schemes. In addition, unemployment combined with low chances of continued employment in the labour market can lead older workers to take advantage of state social benefits or early retirement programmes. In the recent past, these programmes have been seen in many EU countries as an exit route from the labour market for older workers - usually from the age of 55 onwards - and as a soft entry route towards regular retirement. This was politically desired and promoted, for example, to create jobs for younger workers. If older workers leave the labour market prematurely and receive state social benefits over a longer period of time - e.g. in the form of unemployment benefits or extended unemployment benefits - this is associated with negative effects. According to the prevailing scientific opinion, extended unemployment benefits promote the duration of unemployment as well as the duration until a new job is taken up. Moreover, the higher the unemployment benefit, the greater the probability that the individual will decide against a job offer on the labour market. Another spectrum of negative effects of early retirement programmes or extended unemployment benefits includes, especially for men, health consequences and a higher risk of mortality. The aim of this paper is to discuss the results of empirical studies focusing on the negative effects of early retirement programmes and to answer the research question: "Are extended unemployment benefits harmful to older workers? ". For the sake of completeness, empirical studies are also presented that prove positive effects of early retirement programmes. The course of the work begins with the definition of the term "older workers". The second chapter looks at the reasons that justify retirement from employment. In this context, the effect of unemployment benefits and extended unemployment benefits as incentive effects is discussed. The third chapter then focuses on the long-term effects of extended unemployment benefits and early retirement, with the emphasis on negative aspects. Empirical studies on this topic form the basis for this. To complete the picture, empirical studies are discussed that demonstrate positive effects of extended unemployment benefits or early retirement programmes. In the last chapter, the thesis ends with a conclusion and an outlook.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two main hypotheses can be found in literature on why elderly workers have a lower probability of using information technology than their younger peers: lower learning capabilities and reduced incentives to invest in human capital. I use law changes in the unemployment compensation system enacted in Germany during the 1980s and 1990s to demonstrate that "incentives" are more important than "capabilities" in determining variation in IT usage. Elderly workers only fell behind the IT usage rates of their younger peers during the 1980s and 1990s, when unemployment benefits got increasingly generous, thereby reducing their incentives to invest in human capital.
