New Perspectives on a Longer Working Life in Croatia and Slovenia

This book is a joint project of The Institute of Economics, Zagreb (EIZ) and Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), Regional Office Zagreb for Croatia and Slovenia, intended to explore the effects of demographic changes in Croatia and Slovenia in order to influence both employers and employees to keep older workers in labour as long as possible. It analyses the basic demographic forces shaping future labour market developments, identifies those elements of the pension system influencing retirement decisions in the two countries and scrutinises employers’ willingness to retain older workers. Furthermore, it also formulates and promotes policy recommendations which would enable policy-makers to design necessary reforms. Download book
