#AGEconf23
📢 Wrapping up #AGEconf23! It was an insightful day focused on empowering older workers for sustainable careers. 💼🌟
Thanks to all participants 👏🎙️
The next AGE Barometer will assess this topic, with the full report coming out this autumn!
🗣️ María José Tarrero, @UeEspana
"We will work on self-employment workers. Focusing on self-employed is important for Spain. An agreement on self-employed pension + on transportability of pension benefits = coordination of social security system."
#AGEconf23
🗣️ Ignacio Doreste, @etuc_ces
"Looking at the real necessity of people rather than seeing older people as a burden is important. (...) The labour market integration and the quality of the jobs = key for good working conditions + adequate pensions."
#AGEconf23
🗣️ Anna Kwiatkiewicz, @businesseurope
""Attracting inactive workers in the labour market is key for us. We need any talent with the right skills = the ones required by employers.(...) To keep experienced workers working, we can offer breaks, days off or shorter days."

🗣️ Franz Eiffe
"If the working conditions are good, people keep working motivated. (...) The core concept of sustainable work is the job quality aspect."
#AGEconf23
🗣️ Professor Ingmar Skoog, @ingmar_skoog "Most important thing: increase knowledge of ageing. (...) We need to acknowledge that ageing today is very different from decades ago."
#AGEconf23
🗣️ Patrick D`Haese, @paddyohare1
"Hearing loss has a very high prevalence. 1 out of 4 will have it. 1 out 3 still working. (...) Healthy ageing (UN) is addressing this. A lot of the policies are there, but still a challenge to implement them."
#AGEconf23
We need #education on #ageism but also on #Menopause. Impressive to hear at #AGEConf23 by @SofiaKrigsman that still people believe that not all women go through #menopause. The bodies of #olderwomen are invisible and subject to so many taboos! Good points from @essity
🗣️ Sofia Krigsman, @sofiakrigsman
“@AGE_PlatformEU and @essity share the commitment to support and strengthen older peoples voice on topics like incontinence, which is so important to dignified care, active ageing and keeping people socially included."
#AGEconf23
🗣️Christina Rogestam, @rogestam
"At AGE, we believe companies and the labour market greatly benefit from age-diverse teams+intergenerational cooperation from the innovation potential due to the diversity of profiles to the dissemination of knowledge and experience."

🗣️ Federica Previtali, @FedericaPREVI
"If we talk about employment, recruitment, talent acquisition is mostly about younger workers. Very rare to look at older workers. It's really important to change the narrative."
#AGEconf23
🗣️ Dorothea Schmidt-Klau, @ilo
"Older workers have been an issue for ILO since its foundation. Need to be created a strategy that gives importance to all population groups, younger and older people, women and men."
#AGEconf23
🗣️Ana Carla Pereira, @anacarla1975
"This year ‘European Union for Skills’ will bring private actors to invest in learning. It is not just about public investment but also companies that should invest in trainings for their employees."

Showcase by Dario Paoletti - AGE Member - ATDAL Over 40, Italy
👉"Guarantee of employability of workers" implemented in Italy: aims to promote employability and labour market integration of the unemployed workers 55+ and more.
#AGEconf23
🗣️Jose-Luis Tejedor - AGE Vice President - ASPUR, Spain
"Employment rates in Europe for people between 55 and 64 years is only 60,5% – meaning that almost one in two older workers does not work. We need better support for older people on the labour market"
#AGEconf23
🗣️ @dubravkasuica
"We need to come forward with an old age guarantee that addresses pensions, the accessibility of transportation, long-term care and health services, re-skilling and upskilling, decent and affordable housing, as well as fostering active aging."
