Our society is ageing. Rising life expectancy and falling numbers of young people challenge us to re-shape public policies to better meet society’s needs in a changing and more interconnected world. Nowhere are the choices more urgent than in European labour markets.
This important collaboration between NIACE and Age Concern England applies the expertise of two non-governmental organisations to collect the key evidence about migration, mobility, retirement and inclusion and construct a shared analysis of the evidence. The findings will inform critical reflection both for policy makers within the UK and elsewhere in the European Union, and from professionals, and social partners in education, training and labour market planning.
