Vieillissement au travail : des approches traditionnelles à l’analyse psychosociale

Year: 2010

Type: book

Abstract: Nowadays, like most OECD countries, Belgium faces the challenge of an aging population. In response to this demographic challenge, OECD governments give priority to extending people’s working lives in order to maintain the financial viability of the social security system in the long term (OCDE, 2005, 2006). However, given the very low employment rate for the over 50s in countries such as Belgium, workers’ motivation and ability to remain in the workforce is an important issue. In this document, in line with individual and organisational approaches to aging at work and with psychosocial approaches, we aim to examine “older” workers’ attitudes towards work and early exit as well as their ability to work, learn and develop. More precisely, we investigate how older workers’ behaviors are affected by selfperception and others’ perception, according to social beliefs about aging at work.
