"Europe finds itself in a difficult demographic situation. This chiefly concerns the questions of the ageing of society and the decreasing population. Unfortunately, pension systems and the labour market are suffering as a result. We should, therefore, pay greater attention to the benefits of employing people who are approaching retirement age. This has many advantages. Older employees are, above all, a vast source of knowledge and experience and, in addition, they themselves find great satisfaction in being employed, because they can feel appreciated and needed. Unfortunately, older people are often removed from all active roles and quite simply dispatched to early retirement. We should, therefore, do more to help them stay in or return to work.
Women are in a particularly difficult situation, and their potential often remains unused. In later life they assume the function of carers of grandchildren or elderly people, and so are excluded from the labour market. To make better use of the advantages of women as employees, we need to make it possible for them to stay in the labour market as long as possible. To do this, special programmes are needed, so that with this support, older women will be able to overcome these restrictions and fulfil their potential in the labour market, which will be good for all of society."@en1
