How do migrants prepare for and cope with their retirement? A qualitative study in The Netherlands
The number of retired migrants in Europe is rising, and many migrants face a pension gap. Previous research, largely based on census and register data, attributes these pension gaps to employment histories and eligibility policies while overlooking less visible influences such as habits, norms, and social relations – here termed sociocultural factors. This study addresses how such factors shape migrants’ retirement preparations and their coping s…
What explains the migrant pension penalty? A systematic review and comprehensive model
The number of retired migrants has vastly increased in Western societies and is projected to grow further in the decades ahead. Many of those migrants are more likely than nonmigrants to encounter severe financial hardships during their retirement years, raising the following question: What explains this “migrant pension penalty?” Based on a systematic literature review of 86 articles, this article presents a comprehensive model for understanding…
Hoe ziet de pensioenopbouw en pensioensituatie van niet-westerse migranten eruit? Een kwalitatieve studie
What does retirement preparation and retirement situation of non-western migrants look like? A qualitative study Retirement poverty levels are high (40%) among the rapidly increasing group of first-generation non-Western migrants in the Netherlands. How do they deal with their economic position? We studied this question using 26 semi-structured qualitative interviews with retirees born in Morocco, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Tunisia, and Turkey. Four as…
Managerial decisions on older workers’ training
Saving behavior among immigrant and native youth
This study investigates the role of migration background in the saving behavior of youth, with a focus on immigrant generation, national origin, and the influence of cultural and socioeconomic factors. Drawing on a nationally representative dataset of over 28,000 secondary school students in the Netherlands, we employ binary logit models to analyze two dimensions of saving behavior: the likelihood of saving money and the propensity to use bank ac…

Age Discrimination in Hiring Decisions
This article analyses old-age discrimination in managers’ hypothetical hiring decisions. We expect that older job candidates are less likely to be hired than equally qualified younger candidates. Statistical discrimination theory argues that when recruiters have more information about the candidate’s skills, age is less important for hiring decisions. Given inconclusive results of previous studies, we elaborate on the theory by focusing on the co…
The Use of HR Policies and Job Satisfaction of Older Workers
Against the backdrop of aging populations and policies to extend working lives, this study advances prior research by examining how job satisfaction of older workers is associated with not only own, but also coworkers’ usage of 3 human resource (HR) policies: phasing out (i.e., lighter workload, additional leave, and semi-retirement), demotion, and training. Exploiting unique, linked organization-department-employee data from the European Sustain…
Teaching older workers new tricks
Despite its benefits for prolonging careers, participation in training is far lower among older employees (age 50+) than among younger employees. This study analyses gender differences in older employees’ training participation. To investigate the predictors of training intensity, we examine two forms of training: formal educational programmes and on-the-job training. The study draws on a novel data-set, the European Sustainable Workforce Survey,…
Understanding old-age adaptation policies in Europe
To cope with an increased proportion of older workers, organisations develop old-age adaptation policies. Two strategies underlie these policies: phasing out and activating. Although the existence of these strategies is widely recognised, the reasons for their presence have rarely been explored. We identify three arguments that explain the extent to which these strategies are present: profit, principles and pressures. We hypothesise that the inte…
