“…Interventions targeting integration and re-integration into work are strongly intertwined in the welfare models of the country where they are implemented. The Scandinavian social welfare model emphasizes egalitarianism and universal welfare provision [ 46 ] and generally provides universally accessible benefits and a strong redistributive social security system [ 47 , 48 ]. In the present review, graded sickness-absence certificates, PTSL, and multidisciplinary, coordinated and tailored return to work interventions were effective in improving the employment status, return to work and sick leave outcomes of persons with chronic conditions living in Nordic countries.…”

Due to low employment rates associated to chronic conditions in Europe, it is essential to foster effective integration and re-integration into work strategies. The objective of this systematic review is to summarize the evidence on the effectiveness of strategies for integration and re-integration to work for persons with chronic diseases or with musculoskeletal disorders, implemented in Europe in the past five years. A systematic search was conducted in MedLine, PsycINFO, CDR-HTA, CDR-DARE and Cochrane Systematic Reviews. Overall, 32 relevant publications were identified. Of these, 21 were considered eligible after a methodological assessment and included. Positive changes in employment status, return to work and sick leave outcomes were achieved with graded sickness-absence certificates, part-time sick leave, early ergonomic interventions for back pain, disability evaluation followed by information and advice, and with multidisciplinary, coordinated and tailored return to work interventions. Additionally, a positive association between the co-existence of active labour market policies to promote employment and passive support measures (e.g., pensions or benefits) and the probability of finding a job was observed. Research on the evaluation of the effectiveness of strategies targeting integration and re-integration into work for persons with chronic health conditions needs, however, to be improved and strengthened.

“…The major share of studies included in this review was conducted in Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, and Norway). Nordic countries are characterized by welfare models that share an emphasis on egalitarianism and universal welfare provision [ 70 ], the provision of universal and generous benefits and a strong redistributive social security system [ 71 , 72 ], as well as active labor market policies and strong employment orientation [ 73 ]. In recent years, several policy and system-level changes have been introduced in these countries, such as partial sick leave and flexible jobs (flex-jobs) [ 74 , 75 ], to overcome limited financial resources.…”

The effectiveness of strategies targeting professional integration and reintegration strongly depends on the experiences of participants. The aim of this systematic literature review is to synthesize European qualitative studies exploring views and experiences of persons with chronic conditions regarding strategies for integration and reintegration into work. The systematic search was conducted in Medline, PsycINFO, CDR-HTA, CDR-DARE and Cochrane Systematic Reviews. Overall, 24 studies published in English between January 2011 and April 2016 were included. Most studies were carried out in Nordic countries or in the UK, and most participants were persons with either mental or musculoskeletal disorders. Ten themes emerged: individual and holistic approach, clarity of strategy and processes, timing of rehabilitation processes, experience with professionals, at the workplace and with peer groups, changes in the understanding of health and work, active involvement in the process, competencies development and motivating aspects of work. Findings highlight, among others, the need to actively involve participants in the return to work process and to provide timely and clearly structured processes and interventions. This review provides stakeholders key information to develop, plan, implement and evaluate interventions to integrate and re-integrate persons with chronic conditions into work in Europe.

“…The Anglo-Saxon model is implemented in Ireland and the United Kingdom (UK), and is characterized by providing social benefits to all in need, but the social funds are accumulated by the citizens themselves (Popova & Kozhevnikova, 2013). The greater fund portion is for the working-age population, while pensioners receive a minor part, with the replacement rates being lower for higher earners than for lower earners (Disney & Johnson, 2001).…”

“…This model is between the Anglo-Saxon and Nordic model, characterized by high expenses for social support, moderate re-distribution, and larger public pension systems. Nonetheless, social support is given to those who have already been represented on the labour market, and depends on the social accumulation of each person, so public pension benefits are often linked to the fulfillment of certain conditions (Popova & Kozhevnikova, 2013), although replacement rates are high at all income levels and, hence, private pension investment is smaller.…”

In recent decades, pension fund investment has increased rapidly because of population aging and growing doubts about the viability of western public pension systems. As a result, pension funds have become dominant in stock markets. This paper examines the influence of the pension fund assets invested in equities on stock market development and the market efficiency of 13 European countries, from 1999 to 2014. Our results vary by country, by pension model and among the one-model countries. Nevertheless, revealing a concern about saving for retirement. Finally, our efficiency analysis reveals that the influence of pension funds varies over time and across markets, due to arbitrage opportunities that provoke adaptive managerial strategies.
