“…The period since the late 1990s has seen a rapid growth of policies to support an extended working life (Altmann 2015; Burtless and Aaron 2013; Hofäcker, Hess and König 2016; Léime et al 2017; OECD 2006; Scherger 2015; Sinclair, Watson and Beech 2013). This contrasts with the preceding two decades where strategies focused on helping people to leave the workforce, preferably by their early sixties.…”

Research on older workers and retirement has yet to fully adjust to an environment influenced by a combination of demographic change, technological developments, and economic recession. A key dimension to the changing relationship between ageing and work is the tension between policies to extend working life (EWL) and the increasingly fragmented nature of late working life, with the emergence of varied transitions, including: bridge employment, second/third careers, part-time working, early retirement, and other variations. These developments indicate both the challenge of conceptualizing new forms of work-ending, and -in policy terms -the extent to which these can successfully accommodate longer working lives. The paper provides a critical perspective to the policy of extending working life and the narrative which underpins this approach. The paper argues that retirement has become a 'contested' institution in the 21st Century, fragmented across different pathways and transitions affecting people in their 50s and 2 60s. The paper argues the case for improving work quality and security as a precondition for supporting policies for encouraging working in later life. An essential requirement for this will include linking debates on EWL with technological developments and changes affecting the workplace, creating differentiated paths to retirement and labour force exit, enhancing the provision of training and continuing education, and re-thinking the idea of the 'older worker'.

“…offers more opportunities to older workers (Dalen et al, 2006), while a more conservative market will promote early retirement as a way of exiting the labour market in order to resolve the problem of unemployment (Bredgaard and Tros, 2006;Scherger, 2015).…”

“…The retirement insurance system of the 19 th century in Germany was not meant to replace earned income entirely, but only to supplement it, since it was assumed that earnings with age and infirmity would be lower, and pensions recipients often went on working. This was changed after WWII with a greater amount of retirement benefit (Scherger, 2015). E.g.…”

“…15 According to Eurostat (the ad-hoc module) in Croatia in 2012 the average age at which a person first received an old-age pension was 57.7, while the EU-28 average was 59.1. (63) and in others higher: Germany (65,42), Italy (66, 58 and 65, 58 for women), Portugal (66,17), Greece (67 and 62 for women), Israel (70 and 68 for women). The age of early retirement was in most countries higher than in the Republic of Croatia: Austria (64 and 59 for women), Germany (63), Italy (63), in Estonia (60) In the same year, the share of pensioners in Croatia in the 50 to 69 age group was 47.1 per cent, 55.9 per cent of whom had retired early, while the contemporary equivalent for the EU-28 was 41.5 per cent and 39.1 per cent, respectively.…”

U radu se analizira tržište rada starijih radnika u kontekstu što dužeg ostanka na tržištu rada u Republici Hrvatskoj. Slijedom nepovoljne demografske situacije, dužeg životnog vijeka te ugroženosti sustava mirovinskog osiguranja, u proteklih nekoliko desetljeća u velikom broju zemalja provedene su inicijative produženja radnog vijeka. Analiza je pokazala da stariji radnici u Republici Hrvatskoj, unatoč nižoj radnoj aktivnosti u usporedbi s drugim zemljama, imaju dodatnog radnog kapaciteta za duži ostanak na tržištu rada koji pritom ne bi ugrozio zaposlenost mlađih skupina. Dokazano je i da tržište rada Republike Hrvatske nije prilagođeno starijim dobnim skupinama, te da najveće šanse za duži ostanak na tržištu rada, imaju visokoobrazovani i oni boljeg materijalnog statusa, odnosno oni koji općenito imaju najviše prilika, dok oni slabijeg obrazovanja, socioekonomskog statusa i zdravlja, iako možda ne žele napustiti tržište rada, imaju male mogućnosti, odnosno šanse za dužim ostankom na tržištu rada. Ključne riječi: stariji radnici, radni vijek, tržište rada, Hrvatska * Autori zahvaljuju anonimnim recenzentima na korisnim komentarima i prijedlozima koji su doprinijeli kvaliteti rada. Iznesena stajališta osobna su stajališta autora i ne odražavaju nužno stajališta institucija u kojima su zaposleni.
