« Policies for longer working lives: understanding interactions with health and care responsibilities »

Motivation: Study the link between working lives, health, and caring responsibilities. It should help policy makers concerning longer working lives policies, and its impact on health and well-being.

Project: This project focuses on two key factors related to the interest among policymakers across Europe in extending working lives: the relationship of longer working with health and caring responsibilities. This project brings together expertise from four countries – Denmark, Germany, France and the UK – to shed new light on how longer working lives might affect the health and well-being of the older population, and how caring responsibilities may affect individuals’ ability to work for longer. A core focus of the work would be understanding differences in these effects across the population and the resulting impact on inequality.

Funding: The French team is financed by The Agence nationale de la recherche (ANR). JPI “More Years, Better Lives”, a EU 2020 initiative, is also funding this research project

IPP researchers associated to this project: Didier Blanchet, Mahdi Ben Jelloul, Antoine Bozio, Eve Caroli, Pierre-Yves Geoffard, Elsa Perdrix, Corinne Prost, Simon Rabaté et Muriel Roger.
