18 Working and ageing Guidance and counselling for mature learners impact of demographic change in Germany and presents empirical evidence showing the extent to which German firms are in line with the new demographic situation (Chapter 3). In Chapter 4, Ida Wognum, Anouk Breukers, Max Wittpoth and Beatrice van der Heijden present the findings of two studies that identify individual and organisational factors affecting the employability of an ageing workforce and make recommendations to enable enterprises to develop and implement employability-improving strategies. Antonia Ypsilanti and Ana Vivas discuss cognitive ageing and training in relation to demographic, neurobiological and psychological factors in Chapter 5. Donald Ropes explores the perspective of intergenerational learning in organisations by presenting a framework for a forthcoming research study in Chapter 6. The second part, Meeting the challenges: emerging guidance and counselling models in Europe, presents contemporary approaches to guidance and counselling for ageing people in Europe. In Chapter 7, Stephen McNair examines a major study of training and work in later life in the UK, notes the distinction between well-off and less-well off groups of ageing workers, and identifies how guidance and counselling can address areas of market failure. The main issue addressed in Chapter 8 by Marg Malloch is that focus on the individual worker is merely one aspect of ageing in a work context. Enterprises, local authorities, and national and international policymakers can also play a significant role by creating relevant policies and addressing the challenge of implementation. Relying on evidence from a pan- European study among older workers, Allan Brown and Jenny Bimrose examine career patterns and identities and highlight the role guidance and counselling can play in supporting successful labour market transitions in Chapter 9. In Chapter 10, Lyn Barham discusses how career guidance can be adapted better to the needs of older workers by looking at explanations for why older people are generally less satisfied with these services and argues that more effective counselling requires respect for diversity among older workers and further research. The third part, Making it work: successful guidance and counselling in EU countries, presents good practice examples. Fabienne Caser shows that companies in France foster senior employment by focusing on preserving employee health, developing skills and fostering commitment in Chapter 11. She argues that guidance and counselling initiatives foster job maintenance for seniors, provided they contain a phase of mobilising those who might benefit from it and consider the specific features of older workers. In Chapter 12, Cristina Milagre, Maria Francisca Simões and Maria do Carmo
Gomes present the set-up and outcomes of a major initiative to upgrade qualifications in Portugal, which combines training with guidance and counselling and recognition and validation of competences. Chapter 13 by Roland Kadefors and Marianne Blomsterberg presents results from a case study in Sweden focusing on a programme for phasing out army employees. They conclude that both organisational and personal factors must be considered, and that guidance and counselling is a core element ensuring successful career changes. Graham Smith in Chapter 14 discusses the features and outcomes of a successful initiative in Scotland that aimed to improve employability in later life. Among the main findings are that lifelong learning is linked to individual background and educational experience and that successful guidance and counselling supports dealing with uncertainty and managing change, considering capacities, needs and aspirations of older adults. The final chapter by Mika Launikari, Christian Lettmayr and Jasper van Loo provides conclusions, links these to the policy context, and outlines avenues for future research.
