Older Workers on the Labour Market in the
Netherlands
Ageing Society
The impact of the demographic ageing on the shortage to
workers will become around 2011 clearly visible and
tangible.
The impact of the demographic ageing differs by sector.
Certain sectors, such as the care and, have do the education now already with shortages to staff.
Dutch labour market policy
In the course of 2005 to 2007 the shortage on the labour market and the number of young
people walking back on the labour market had much influence.
When employees continue working longer (to on higher age) this will have a positive impact
on the approaching shortage to workers. For this reason the government has made the early retirement regulations financially less attractive and more employees to their 65th
will continue work. Large companies consider the shortage more as a stimulant policy conduct that have been aimed at older employees rather than SME’s
End of early retirement
When employees continue working longer (to on
higher age) this will have a positive impact on the
approaching shortage to workers.
For this reason the government has made the
early retirement regulations financially less
attractive and more employees to their 65th
will continue work.
Positive age –related HRM
The current shortage on the labour market is for employers an
important mainspring to hire and retain older workers.
Employees take into account more and more that they will continue
working longer.
Also the increasing attention in the mediums for the subject `older
workers' and the national policy to stimulate longer continuing working
plays a role.

Re-integration
1. Work First: after getting work we see what the new worker needs
2. Social Participation: for those with large distance to the labour market
3. “Demand led” – several definitions: jobcentred, clientcentred, extra imput….
People are getting less re-integrable
We accept absolutely no client doing nothing. Everyone must bewcome active in one or another manner. Routes which are not aimed primary at regular work, act as access routes. It are the first steps in long itinary which nevertheless still finally lead the participants to regular work .
Regional labour market policy
- Unsatisfied about the results of re-integration in the last years
- No confidence in the market oriented re-integration agencies
- Less tenders
- More active role for the municipalities, pro-active, more self initiatives; less outsourcing
-Bringing together several players: employment agency, social services, employers, education institutions
