    Content: Anticipating one's future self is a unique human capacity that contributes importantly to adaptation and health throughout adulthood and old age. Using the adult lifespan sample of the national German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP; N 〉 10,000, age range 18-96 years), we investigated age-differential stability, correlates, and outcomes of accuracy in anticipation of future life satisfaction across six subsequent 5-year time intervals. As expected, we observed few age differences in current life satisfaction, but stronger age differences in future expectations: Younger adults anticipated improved future life satisfaction, overestimating their actual life satisfaction 5 years later. By contrast, older adults were more pessimistic about the future, generally underestimating their actual life satisfaction after 5 years. Such age differences persisted above and beyond the effects of self-rated health and income. Survival analyses revealed that in later adulthood, underestimating one's life satisfaction 5 years later was related to lower hazard ratios for disability (n = 735 became disabled) and mortality (n = 879 died) across 10 or more years, even after controlling for age, sex, education, income, and self-rated health. Findings suggest that older adults are more likely to underestimate their life satisfaction in the future, and that such underestimation was associated with positive health outcomes. -- Subjective well-being ; future anticipation ; optimism ; aging ; health ; mortality ; disability ; SOEP

    Content: Demographic change implies an increasing demand for elderly care and a lower labor force potential at the same time. Training unemployed workers in care occupations might mitigate this problem. This study analyzes the effectiveness of subsidized training in elderly care professions for the unemployed in Germany over 12 years. We find that subsidized further training and retraining in elderly care improves the employment chances of unemployed workers substantially in the long term. Moreover, a high share of these re-employed workers remain in the care sector. A high percentage of parttime work and conditional wage gains for only certain retraining participants indicate shortcomings in the quality of employment. However, subsidized training seems to be an adequate measure to re-employ unemployed workers in the elderly care sector and to narrow the gap between demand and supply in elderly care.
    Content: Der demografische Wandel wirkt sich in doppelter Weise auf den Bedarf an Pflegepersonal aus. Während die Zahl der pflegebedürftigen Personen immer weiter ansteigt, sinkt das Erwerbspersonenpotenzial. Eine Möglichkeit, einem Fachkräftemangel in der Altenpflege entgegenzuwirken, ist die Qualifizierung Arbeitsloser in diesem Berufsfeld. In dieser Studie untersuchen wir die Effekte geförderter Weiterbildung in der Altenpflege für Arbeitslose in Deutschland über einen Zeitraum von 12 Jahren. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass geförderte Weiterbildung in der Altenpflege die Beschäftigungschancen von Arbeitslosen langfristig deutlich verbessert. Zugleich verbleibt ein hoher konstanter Anteil dieser wiederbeschäftigten Arbeitslosen langfristig im Pflegebereich. Auf ein Defizit bei der Arbeitsqualität deuten jedoch ein hoher Teilzeitanteil und nur partielle positive Lohneffekte für bestimmte Umschulungsteilnehmer hin. Generell scheinen Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen in der Altenpflege aber ein geeignetes Mittel um Arbeitslose langfristig in der Altenpflege zu beschäftigen, was einem Fachkräfteengpass in diesem Bereich entgegenwirken könnte.

    Do informational nudges alter firms' hiring behavior of older workers? (12)

    Content: This paper analyses a local marketing campaign in Germany that provided information about unproven agerelated stereotypes and the value of older workers. The campaign was designed to increase the hiring rate of older workers. Using comprehensive register data, we find that the information provided by the campaign (via banners, interviews, job fairs and information brochures) did change firms' employment behavior. The cheap and mild intervention increased the employment rate of older workers on average by 3 percentage points. This increase, however, is attributable to an increase in job stability rather than to an increase in the hiring of older workers.
    Content: Die Studie analysiert eine Informationskampagne, die zum Ziel hatte, die Vorbehalte von Firmen gegenüber Arbeitnehmern abzubauen und die Bereitschaft, ältere Arbeitslose einzustellen, zu erhöhen. Unsere Ergebnisse auf Basis umfangreicher administrativer Daten zeigen, dass die Informationskampagne, welche u.a. Plakate, Experteninterviews, Informationsbroschüren und Job-messen zum Thema beinhaltete, die Beschäftigungsrate älterer Arbeitnehmer im Durchschnitt um etwa drei Prozentpunkte erhöhte. Der Anstieg in der Beschäftigungsrate Älterer scheint jedoch weniger bedingt durch einen Anstieg der Einstellungsquote, sondern vielmehr durch eine stabilere Beschäftigung älterer Arbeitnehmer.

    The aims of lifelong learning : age-related effects of training on wages and job security (2012)

    Content: This study analyses the effects of training participation on wages and perceived job security for employees of different ages. Based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, results indicate that only younger workers benefit from training by an increase in wages, whereas older employees' worries about losing their job are reduced. This observation can also be explained by the fact that goals of training courses are related to the age of participants. Moreover, I differentiate between workers who permanently and only occasionally participate in training. The results indicate that there seem to be decreasing marginal returns to training with respect to job security. -- Training ; wages ; Job security
