Abstract	"In Germany and the UK, the issue of the employment of older workers has moved up the policy agenda in recent years. After decades of early retirement, concerns about the sustainability of public pension systems and future labour shortages have resulted in a new policy consensus around the need to integrate older workers. Policies are now emerging which are aimed at extending the end of working lives, closing of early retirement pathways and making continued employment more attractive, and educating employers and encouraging them to recruit older workers. Yet the degree of progress should not be overstated. Considering active labour market policies specifically, reviewing the evidence, the report concludes that: 1. While a recent shift towards strategies and measures for older unemployed people has taken place, they remain under-represented in general labour market measures such as the promotion of vocational training, self-employment and job-placement activities. 2. In particular, strategies and measures to facilitate lifelong learning and provide training for all age groups are underdeveloped. 3. Even where measures have been implemented, they have concentrated on more advantaged and easier to place older unemployed people, with risk groups such as those with low skill levels or disabilities under-represented."
