"From early retirement to later exit from work" (Chap. 21) doi.org/10.4337/978180…

What are the consequences of providing guaranteed jobs to unemployed workers? What can be done to widen access to job training? The Economic and Social Research Council has produced a short film on my doctoral research on the occasion of its impact prize: youtube.com/watch?v=mrJHNp…

@BachmannDana EU Social 🇪🇺 Discussing the #Ageing reports I explored the links between demographic ageing (longevity) with other megatrends work changes, digitalization, and green transition and their future implications #socialrights

Bernard Ebbinghaus emphasized the importance of tackling these issues through the lens of social investment, strategies, and training. He posed the critical question: how will the transition to a sustainable future take place? 🛠️🌱 #ESPAnet2024 #SocialPolicy
