Betrieblich bedingte Arbeitslosigkeit
-
Demographic change will lead to a longer working life and older employees taking up of new employment. Using IAB micro economic data, this article investigates firms' characteristics and their recruitment behavior towards workers aged 50 years and more. Special consideration is given to labor supply issues and in particular applications from older job seekers. Our results show that about 75% of firms do not receive applications from such job seekers. Of the firms that do, about one half recruit older workers. There are remarkable differences between firms attracting applications from older job seekers and firms that are willing to recruit them. We address the factors behind these disparities and possible consequences for labor market policies and human resource strategies.
