Ageing and Employment Policies: Norway 2013
Working Better with Age
This report provides an overview of the substantial ageing and employment policy initiatives already implemented in Norway over the past decade and identifies areas where more should be done, covering both supply-side and demand-side aspects.
To give better incentives to carry on working, the report recommends further reforms in the second-pillar pension schemes, particularly for public sector employees. On the side of employers, it is important to progress towards more age-neutral hiring decisions and to review of age limits for mandatory retirement.
To improve the employability of older workers, the focus should be to promote job-related training with a particular focus on mid-career workers and to encourage initiatives based on a full-time culture and good working conditions for all.

Strengthening the employability of older workers in Norway
In addition to strengthened economic incentives and age-friendly employer practices, employability and willingness to stay on are prerequisites for increasing employment rates for older workers. Three key factors here are up-to-date skills, ready access to employment services, and better working conditions. This chapter provides an overview of related measures – taken or that could be improved upon – to boost the employability of older workers.
