Failure to Launch
Key messages: Young individuals suffer disproportionally from the crisis, especially in terms of high unemployment and economic uncertainty, which affect their ability to start an independent life.

Adriano Paggiaro, Assistant Professor in Economic Statistics at the University of Padua, tried to find an answer to these questions. He compared native and immigrant workers by using longitudinal data from the Italian Labour Force Survey.   Last hired first fired

Experienced, but Too Expensive?
Working longer and retiring later is not only a matter of whether older individuals want to remain active in the labour market as long as possible, but also depends on the employersˆ capacity and willingness to employ and retain older workers. A recent study by Hendrik P. van Dalen, Kne Henkens, Wilma Henderikse, and Joop Schippers analyses whether European employers support later retirement.
