Specific Measures for Older Employees and Late Career Employment

Publication date: Available online 11 April 2018 Source:The Journal of the Economics of Ageing Author(s): Bernhard Boockmann, Jan Fries, Christian Göbel We analyse the relationship between the application of specific measures for older employees (SMOE) and job duration of workers aged 40 and above. Using longitudinal employer-employee data for German establishments, we account for worker and establishment heterogeneity and correct for stock-sampling. We find a positive relation of mixed-aged team work to job duration and a negative relation of specific part-time addressed at older workers. Job duration does not appear to be related to other SMOE, such as training and specific equipment of workplaces. Our findings suggest that only certain specific measures for older employees alter employee retention.
