CONCLUSIONS Ageing Europe at work – Guidance to support longer careers of ageing workers Mika Launikari, Christian Lettmayr, Jasper van Loo Population ageing is one of the most profound trends in Europe but is also apparent in other continents. It offers serious challenges to todayʼs economies and societies. This publication makes the case for guidance and counselling as a core concept to support ageing people in learning, career development and employability. Based on a structural analysis of the most important results and insights, this chapter presents and discusses in conclusion three principles which will be crucial for guidance and counselling for ageing people in Europe in the future. Results illustrate that, despite encouraging signs of progress, further actions are necessary to increase effectiveness and coverage of guidance and counselling as a core tool to deal with population ageing. Introduction The preceding chapters have highlighted the importance and potential of guidance and counselling in supporting longer and more satisfying careers in ageing societies in Europe. The first part of the publication reviews the factors contributing to active ageing from various angles, while the second part examines contemporary approaches to guidance and counselling. The third part gives several good examples of successful measures and practices launched in EU Member States. The analysis and results presented indicate encouraging signs of progress. Successful integration of older workers in national labour markets calls for more comprehensive cross-sectoral policies and strategies and for harmonised all-age legislative frameworks across Member States. Guidance and counselling for ageing people is a key element to address trends of ageing, changing work and emerging skill needs which are closely related.
CONCLUSIONS Ageing Europe at work – Guidance to support longer careers of ageing workers 287 They are important for a holistic approach towards promoting longer careers which follow a different logic from current traditional career models. Guidance and counselling in Europe: a synthesis Successful approaches to guidance and counselling for ageing people are based on three principles: guidance and counselling should adopt a lifecycle approach; be comprehensive and responsive; be embraced by all stakeholders involved. These principles are discussed in more detail in the following subsections. Towards a lifecycle approach Guidance support is key to adapting employment opportunities to an ever more age-diverse workforce. Research indicates that efficient guidance and counselling requires a lifecycle approach, which is proactive and tailored to different stages of work life. Successful guidance and counselling models also stimulate motivation and learning ability and make people recognise the added value and relevance of investing in their careers. Approaches that help people to overcome concerns or reservations towards guidance and counselling appear to work particularly well. Employers should take preventive action rather than only react to apparent age-related issues in the work place. Focus has to be on working life and on all age groups (not only older workers), and on flexible and age-friendly forms of work organisation that also allow older workers to integrate continuous learning into their careers. Successful guidance requires a holistic approach incorporating common principles for age management and appropriate employment, education/ training, guidance and health policies and related services. Moreover, it should entail various career development and management strategies such as further training and learning on their own, changing to a different occupation/job within the organisation, or becoming mentors to their younger colleagues. All of these issues seem to be especially beneficial. Providing comprehensive and responsive guidance services Guidance service provision should be easily accessible, comprehensive and systematic.
