摘要:To sustain the welfare state, several EU countries agreed to take measuresaimed at increasing the labor market participation of older workers(European Commission 2001). In this study, we developed a frameworkintegrating individual, work, and institutional characteristics in order toexplain the labor market participation of older workers. While prior studiesfocused mainly on individual characteristics, the present analysis investigatedthe impact of work and institutions more closely using the EuropeanSocial Survey. Multilevel analyses across 21 countries showed that workcharacteristics increased the benefits from work, hence increasing thelikelihood of participation among older workers, and that the generosityof institutions discouraged older workers to remain in the labor market.
