Revisiting the association between women’s employment and separation: An analysis of harmonised longitudinal surveys in six countries
BACKGROUNDMuch debate exists about how women's employment interacts with divorce and separation, with conflicting findings and opposing theoretical interpretations. OBJECTIVEThis study revisits the employment-separation link from a dynamic perspective, examining how employment influences separation risk (independence), whether women increase employment before separation (anticipation), and how they adjust work hours afterward (adjustment). METHOD…
Accelerating social science knowledge production with the coordinated open-source model
With the growing complexity of knowledge production, social science must accelerate and open up to maintain explanatory power and responsiveness. This goal requires redesigning the front end of the research to build an open and expandable knowledge infrastructure that stimulates broad collaborations, enables breaking down inertia and path dependencies of conventional approaches, and boosts discovery and innovation. This article discusses the coor…
LeverAge: A European network to leverage the multi-age workforce
Bringing together 150+ scholars and practitioners from 50+ countries, and funded by the European Commission, COST Action LeverAge (https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA22120/) is the first network-building project of its kind in the work and organizational psychology and human resource management (WOP/HRM) aspects of work and aging. Focused on the aging workforce, the Action aims to foster interdisciplinary and multinational scientific excellence and th…
Different Shades of Discriminatory Effects of Age Stereotypes in the Workplace: A Multilevel and Dynamic Perspective on Organizational Behaviors
Age-related stereotypes in the workplace are assumed to hamper the employment of older workers (Bytheway, 2005; Oude Mulders, 2020; Perry & Finkelstein, 1999), yet Murphy and DeNisi (2021) challenged this view mainly due to scarce and inconsistent findings. In this commentary, we argue that a lack of evidence for the relationship between age stereotypes and personnel decisions does not imply a nondiscriminatory work environment. When limiting the…
Gender and Educational Inequalities in Extending Working Lives: Late-Life Employment Trajectories Across Three Decades in Seven Countries
Public policies encourage later retirement, but they often do not account for discrepancies in the capacity for extending working lives. This paper studies trends and inequalities in extending working lives between 1990 and 2019 from gender and education perspectives in seven countries (Australia, Germany, Russia, South Korea, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States). The three-decade-long data provide insights into the societal transition…
The Comparative Panel File: Harmonized Household Panel Surveys from Seven Countries
The Comparative Panel File (CPF) harmonizes the world's largest and longest-running household panel surveys from seven countries: Australia (HILDA), Germany (SOEP), United Kingdom (BHPS and UKHLS), South Korea (KLIPS), Russia (RLMS), Switzerland (SHP), and the United States (PSID). The project aims to support the social science community in the analysis of comparative life course data. The CPF builds on the Cross-National Equivalent File but offe…
How Skill Requirements Affect the Likelihood of Recruitment of Older Workers in Poland: The Indirect Role of Age Stereotypes
This article analyses the role of age stereotypes in the employability of older people. Unlike in existing studies, we shift emphasis from a direct consideration of stereotypes, focusing instead on skill requirements during recruitment. Using five waves of an employer survey from Poland, we assess how the likelihood of recruiting people over 50 years old depends on the skill requirements of the post. This study uses a real-life framework by refer…
Retirement and perceived social inferiority strongly link with health inequalities in older age: Decomposition of a concentration index of poor health based on Polish cross-sectional data
Although elderly people represent a particularly vulnerable group, their disadvantages are associated with social rather than natural causes. Policies addressing health inequalities in aging populations must provide systemic opportunities for maintaining good health. Transitioning to retirement is a critical entry point for policy action that stimulates social engagement and maintains self-esteem of older people
Organisation‐level policy towards older workers in Poland
Perek‐Białas J, Turek K. Organisation‐level policy towards older workers in Poland This article presents the results of studies on organisation‐level strategies towards older workers in Poland. The analyses were based on a national and representative sample survey of 1,037 companies (public and private sectors) – the first of its kind in Poland. The question of the survey was: How do Polish employers deal with an ageing workforce and how can mana…
