Description
Nehle Penning and co-authors published a research paper in 2023 on lifelong learning as a shield against exclusion for older workers in Europe. Job skill demands keep rising, and workers past fifty-five often hold dated or few formal qualifications. The team compared policy setups and worker accounts in Sweden, Poland, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
One hundred interviews with older workers of varied backgrounds fed the analysis. Learning clearly helped workers dodge or manage exclusion across their careers. Yet company rules, sector gaps, cost, and age bias rationed the chances to learn. The authors say all four systems must give learning higher priority late in working life.
