Low social capital at work is associated with increased risk of perceived age discrimination
Age discrimination at work is negatively associated with older workers’ labour market attachment. High levels of social capital between colleagues (horizontal social capital) and between employees and management (vertical social capital) may prevent age discrimination. Methods: We examined the prospective association between social capital at work and perceived age discrimination among 7640 workers aged 50 years or older participating in two wave…
Participation in and use of skills development for work ability and expected retirement age
Introduction: Europe's aging population calls for ways to prolong working life. Skills development initiatives could potentially improve work ability and extend working lives and may thus be key to address this challenge. However, the role of skills development in relation to work ability and retirement age is still not fully understood. Aim: This study aims to investigate the association of skills development with work ability and expected retir…
Expected reasons for leaving the labour market and loss of paid employment among older workers
Expected reasons for leaving the labour market predicted actual labour market participation among older workers in Denmark. Expected reasons related to poor physical and mental health, and not being capable of doing the job seem to be stronger PUSH-factors among workers aged 50-55 compared to those aged 56-63. Preventing early labour market detachment should take the worker's expected reasons for leaving into account
The Interplay between Multimorbidity, Physical Work Demands and Work Ability
Background: Aging increases the risk of chronic diseases, which can challenge the ability to work and thereby push senior workers out of the labour market. This study investigates the association between non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and work ability among workers ≥50 years (senior workers) with physically demanding and sedentary work, respectively. Methods: In the SeniorWorkingLife study, 12,879 senior workers replied to a questionnaire surve…
New Technology and Loss of Paid Employment among Older Workers
Depending on the context, the introduction of new technology at work associates positively as well as negatively with future labour market participation among older workers. Worker involvement and adequate training in the use of new technology seem to be important for retaining workers in the labour market
Barriers and Facilitators of Re-Employment among Senior Workers
Re-entering the labour market after a period of unemployment can be challenging for seniors. This study investigates personal as well as circumstantial barriers and facilitators of re-employment. Unemployed seniors in Denmark (≥50 years, n = 1636) from the first wave (mid-2018) of the SeniorWorkingLife study were prospectively followed until March 2020 in national registers on labour market participation. Using weighted logistic-regression-modell…
Importance of the Working Environment for Early Retirement
High physical work demands and poor psychosocial working conditions are factors that can push older workers out of the labour market prematurely. Poor psychosocial working conditions seem to be a particularly strong push factor among workers with seated work
What Do the Managers Think of Us? The Older-Worker-Perspective of Managers’ Attitudes
The results indicate that there are differences between those with mainly physical and mainly seated work as well as gender differences. More research is warranted to explore the nature of these differences and, in particular, attitudes towards older female and male workers, respectively
The Psychosocial Work Environment and Perceived Stress among Seniors with Physically Demanding Jobs
Among senior workers with physically demanding jobs, poor ratings of organizational factors related to the psychosocial work environment are consistently associated with high stress scores. Blue-collar occupations focusing primarily on physical risk factors are recommended to increase awareness on psychosocial aspects that may be relevant to the local work environment
Factors Contributing to Retirement Decisions in Denmark
Aim: Analyse factors affecting retirement decisions comparing employees expecting to retire before, at, and after the state pension age. Methods: In the SeniorWorkingLife cohort, 12,269 workers aged +50 replied to questions about expected retirement age, reasons for leaving, and reasons for staying longer. Results: For all groups, poor health, wish for more leisure, and economy were the most salient expected reasons for retiring. Many would stay …
Barriers and Willingness to Accept Re-Employment among Unemployed Senior Workers
Labor market participation has a positive impact on social inclusion and is linked to financial security. This study identifies barriers and willingness to accept re-employment among unemployed seniors that could highlight opportunities for societal action. From the first wave of SeniorWorkingLife in 2018 combined with the Danish version of the International Standard Classification of Occupations register (ISCO), +50-year-old unemployed senior wo…
Joint association of physical work demands and leg pain intensity for work limitations due to pain in senior workers
This was registered as a cohort study in ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT03634410 ) on the 18th of August 2018 (Retrospectively registered)
Strong Labour Market Inequality of Opportunities at the Workplace for Supporting a Long and Healthy Work-Life
Most European countries are gradually increasing the state pension age, but this may run counter to the capabilities and wishes of older workers. The objective of this study is to identify opportunities in the workplace for supporting a prolonged working life in different groups in the labour market. A representative sample of 11,200 employed workers ≥ 50 years responded to 15 questions in random order about opportunities at their workplace for s…
Study protocol for SeniorWorkingLife - push and stay mechanisms for labour market participation among older workers
Registered as cohort study in ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03634410 (August 16, 2018)
Retrospectively assessed psychosocial working conditions as predictors of prospectively assessed sickness absence and disability pension among older workers
This exploratory study found that retrospectively assessed high cognitive demands, high and medium emotional demands, low influence at work, low recognition from management, medium role clarity, and high role conflicts predicted LTSA and/or disability pension
Psychosocial benefits of workplace physical exercise
NCT01921764 at ClinicalTrials.gov . Registered 10 August 2013
Influence of physical and psychosocial work environment throughout life and physical and cognitive capacity in midlife on labor market attachment among older workers
The project will generate new knowledge on risk factors for loss of labor market attachment. The results will potentially contribute in identifying factors that could be targeted in future interventions for maintaining a longer and healthier working life among older workers
The Consequence of Combined Pain and Stress on Work Ability in Female Laboratory Technicians
Musculoskeletal pain and stress-related disorders are leading causes of impaired work ability, sickness absences and disability pensions. However, knowledge about the combined detrimental effect of pain and stress on work ability is lacking. This study investigates the association between pain in the neck-shoulders, perceived stress, and work ability. In a cross-sectional survey at a large pharmaceutical company in Denmark 473 female laboratory t…
