The project (1 January 2018-30 September 2018) focused on the challenges of policies fostering the labour force participation of older people in order to compensate for the social and economic consequences of demographic change within the Baltic Sea Region.
The policy dialogue and knowledge exchange established by the project aimed to contribute to evidence-based decision-making and to support the development of sustainable policies for the region. Deliverables included the publication of a joint discussion paper with input from researchers and policy makers from the region; a dialogue event with stakeholders from research, policy and societal organisations to consolidate the findings of the discussion paper; and the publication of a policy brief that summarised the project result’s and provided recommendations for future policy interventions within the Baltic Sea Region.
The results were disseminated through the proven European-wide communication channels of Population Europe, the network of demographic research centres in Europe.
