A little preview: ''The demographic changes of the past and coming years will profoundly modify the population structure in Europe. These transformations are associated with changes in the distribution of resources and opportunities across Europe and beyond...''

Lesson six: policies should recognise the interaction between informal care and paid employment, allowing flexibility in hours, and caring leave for those supporting older dependents. Also, consider the role older carers play in enabling parents to remain in the workforce. #MYBL

[JPI More Years, Better Lives @jpimybl]

Lesson five: policies should encourage employers to support people with training at all ages, and to adapt working practices, to allow variation, flexibility, and adaptation of work to changing physical limitations. #healthpolicy #activeworkinglife #healthpractices #JPIMYBL

[JPI More Years, Better Lives @jpimybl]

Lesson four: policies should seek to support good occupational health across the lifecourse, and modifications to working practices to allow for changes in people’s capabilities and aspirations as they near retirement. #healthpolicy #healthy #workplace #healthyretirement #JPIMYBL

[JPI More Years, Better Lives @jpimybl]

Lesson three: retirement policies should try to avoid blanket rules applying to everyone. They should allow for individual variation in the timing and phasing of retirement, and the financial implications of those choices. #health #policy #extendingworkinglife #JPIMYBL

[JPI More Years, Better Lives @jpimybl]

Lesson two: policies on retirement should adopt a multifaceted approach, recognising the interaction between pensions, health, and working conditions; and supporting individuals to make informed decisions, and employers to make appropriate modifications to working practices.

Today is May 1st, Labour Day! So coming week we will share some key policy lessons emerging from of our joint call on 'Extended Working Life and its interaction with Health, Wellbeing and beyond'.
Lesson 1: Age strengthens existing inequalities. (1/3)

[JPI More Years, Better Lives @jpimybl]

Ageing and retirement accentuate existing lifelong patterns of inequality.  People with low, or no, qualifications, poor self-rated health and in jobs which make heavy physical demands, spend more of their retirement in poor health, and die younger. (2/3)
