Determinants of old age employment

这项计划建议的主要目的，是评估老年人就业的情况和特点。更详细地说，在第一个项目中，我们使用两个大规模的管理面板数据集来描述（1）退休前最后一次就业的特征，（2）退休的过渡模式，退休年龄和（3）退休后的就业，基于员工的特征，他们的就业历史和雇主以及经济环境。此外，还分析了老年雇员就业的三个方面之间的相互关系。在下一个项目部分中，首先从理论上推导出老年就业的决定因素，然后从经验上进行评估。在经济决策方面，雇主和雇员的特点以及经济环境也被纳入评估范围。最后一个项目部分再次评估的理论假设的基础上，并使用（第三）连接的雇主-雇员数据集的人力资源管理措施是否有影响的特点，在老年就业。除了现有的稀少和分散的证据之外，该项目首次全面概述了老年就业的特点和决定因素，不仅包括个人的经济考虑，还包括其雇主的经济理由和经济环境的影响。该项目的政策和管理影响是发现老年雇员更多参与劳动力市场的潜力及其原因和障碍。对广泛的人力资源管理措施的深入分析为企业增加雇用老年雇员的可能性提供了更多的见解。

The main aims of this project proposal are to assess the incidence and characteristics of old age employment. In more detail, in the first project part we use two large scale administrative panel data sets to describe (1) characteristics of the last employment spell before retirement, (2) transition patterns into retirement, retirement age and (3) employment after retirement based on the characteristics of the employees, their employment histories and employers as well as the economic environment. In addition, the correlation between the three aspects of the employment of older employees is analysed.In the next project part, determinants of old age employment are first derived theoretically and then assessed empirically. With a focus on economic decisions, again employer and employee characteristics as well as the economic environment are included in the assessment. The last project part assesses again on the basis of theoretical hypotheses and using (a third) linked employer-employee data set whether human resource management measures have an influence on the characteristics of employment at old age. Going beyond the scarce and scattered existing evidence, this project for the first time gives a complete overview over characteristics and determinants of old age employment including not only the economic considerations of individuals but also the economic rationale of their employers and the impact of the economic environment. Policy and management implications of this project are the detection of potentials for higher labour market participation of older employees and their reasons and barriers. The in-depth analysis of a broad range of human resource management measures provides additional insights into possibilities for firms to increase the employment of older employees.
