Active Strategies for Older Workers

This report is also to be published by ETUI (Euruopean Trade Unions' Institute) in a book on Active Strategies for Older Workers. It is the National report for Denmark and contains a short section on characteristics of the Danish labour market, with a special focus on the situation of the elderly, followed by a section on early retirement schemes in Denmark. These are very popular and it has been and, maybe, still is a problem to reduce the participation in these schemes. More ''positive'' measures than just reducing the attractiveness of the early retirement schemes are also necessary to keep the older workers in the labour force. A third section will focus on the initiatives taken to promote senior policies also from the government.
