<strong>Working</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>ageing</strong><br />

Guidance <strong>and</strong> counselling<br />

for mature learners<br />

Population <strong>ageing</strong> is one of the most significant developments<br />

in Europe in the next decades. Guidance <strong>and</strong><br />

counselling in supporting longer <strong>and</strong> more satisfying<br />

careers in <strong>ageing</strong> societies is important <strong>and</strong> has potential.<br />

This publication reviews factors contributing to<br />

successful active <strong>ageing</strong> from various angles. It examines<br />

contemporary approaches to guidance <strong>and</strong> counselling<br />

<strong>and</strong> presents several good practice examples of<br />

measures <strong>and</strong> practices launched in EU Member States.<br />

Successful approaches to guidance <strong>and</strong> counselling<br />

encompass a lifecycle perspective, are responsive <strong>and</strong><br />

comprehensive <strong>and</strong> are supported by all stakeholders<br />

involved. The analysis <strong>and</strong> results reveal encouraging<br />

signs of progress, but at the same time indicate that<br />

much remains to be done to promote integration of<br />

<strong>ageing</strong> workers into the labour market <strong>and</strong> society.<br />
