Study protocol for SeniorWorkingLife - push and stay mechanisms for labour market participation among older workers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Due to demographic changes across Europe there are strong political interests in maintaining the labour force by prolonging working life, i.e. increasing retirement age. This may pose both challenges and opportunities for societies, workplaces, and individuals. The SeniorWorkingLife (Danish: SeniorArbejdsLiv) project investigates push and stay mechanisms for labour market participation - now and in the future - among older workers (≥50 years).

Methods

Baseline data collection was terminated in Oct
