Work longer - solve the labour market crisis. At first glance, this may seem like a simple mathematical equation. As the baby boomer generation leaves the workforce, countries such as Germany and France have responded by raising the age of retirement. This has been met with frustration by many, and outright anger by some.
But is “How long should we work?” even the right question?
Surveys show: while most people express a preference for earlier retirement, many would concede to working longer if their working lives improved in quality.
What if the question was “How can we work better now?” Could the quality of work even be the key to improving the resilience of labour markets? If so, what are the factors that must be improved? What futures can be imagined?
Join us to discuss these questions at the "FutuRes Policy Lab":

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
