The impact of age on the reservation wage
27 May 2010
How can we stimulate older workers to stay longer in the labour force? What is the minimum wage employers have to offer for them to accept a job? Age influences the willingness to work and the ease of movement on the labour market. In this report from the Steunpunt Werk en Sociale Economie (KUL), the author uses these two employability concepts and their relation with age to analyze the relation between age and the reservation wage. This relation is complex but helps us to better tackle the ageing challenge.

It calls for broad and deep reforms for the long term, beyond the convulsive short-term reflex of acquired rights.
