Education and health as determinants of labour force participation and the consequences for ageing

The present project is a further development of the project "Macroeconomic Consequences of Ageing and Directed Technological Change" and aims to investigate another key variable for the assessment of the economic effects of ageing in more detail, namely the future development of labour force participation against the backdrop of changes in education and health. On the one hand, results of previous employment rate projections will be compared with results of alternative forecasting methods, which will allow a more differentiated assessment of the results of the previous project. On the other hand, the policy scope for the design of future labour market participation, especially of those aged over 50, is to be shown in a comparative perspective.
