Since limited scientific research has been conducted on the evolution of urban planning approaches in post-socialist countries and cities following the onset of democratic transformations in 1989/ 90, this paper examines urban planning in Budapest, Hungary, through a specific lens: the forms of public participation embedded in development plans and the narratives underpinning their necessity. Our research reveals that public participation is increasingly integrated into urban planning; however, significant and widening disparities exist between Budapest's districts regarding the types of public participation employed. These disparities are shaped by planning traditions, geopolitical factors, broader sociocultural trends, and institutional frameworksparticularly Budapest's highly fragmented institutional system. These findings highlight the importance of contextualizing planning practices within their specific sociopolitical and institutional settings. At the same time, progress in public participation must be assessed against the backdrop of declining local autonomy in Hungary in recent years.

Çalışmanın temel amacı, emekli istihdamının talep tarafını analiz ederek, işverenlerin emekli istihdam etme nedenlerini ortaya koymaktır. Emeklilik sonrası yeniden istihdama girmenin nedenlerini emekliler açısından inceleyen çalışmaların varlığına rağmen, bu durumu emekli istihdam eden işverenler açısından analiz eden çalışmaların sayısı yok denecek kadar azdır. Bu anlamda, bu çalışmanın literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmada öncelikle emeklilerin hangi sektörlerde istihdam edildiğini ortaya çıkarabilmek adına üç ay boyunca iş ilanları taranmış, ardından tespit edilen sektörlerde emekli çalıştıran 14 işverenle derinlemesine görüşme yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, emekliler ya çok nitelik gerektiren işlerde ya da tamamen niteliksiz işlerde istihdam edilmektedir. Özellikle teknik bilgi ve uzmanlık gerektiren işlerde emekli çalıştırmak, yeni bir işçi için yapılacak eğitim ve zaman maliyetlerini ortadan kaldırmaktadır. Bununla birlikte işverenler, yaşlılık aylıklarının varlığına ve emeklilerin sağlık hizmetlerinden hali hazırda yararlanıyor olmasına güvenerek, nitelik gerektirmeyen işlerde emeklileri diğerlerine göre daha düşük ücretle ve sigortasız çalıştırmaktadır.

Research on spouses ’ joint work exits is scarce, although household factors such as spouses ’ work status, marital quality, and caregiving burdens are likely to affect seniors ’ work engagement. We therefore examine whether the work exit probability of one spouse affects that of the other. Discrete-time hazard regression analyses of survey data linked to later registry infor-mation including all gainfully employed married respondents aged 50–74 with a working spouse (N 1,764) were used to assess subsequent work exits. A spouse’s work exit is a strong predictor of a respondent’s work exit (hazard ratio 3.1, 95 % confidence interval [2.5, 4.0]). Educational attainment, poor marital quality, and spouses ’ health and care needs do not predict work exits. Surprisingly, no gender differences are observed. Research on larger survey samples to distinguish different work exit routes and reasons for

Seniors refuse to end their professional life and need to remain active and involved in the socio-economic system. Associations give professional help to young people, SMEs, startups and others that cannot afford remunerated services and voluntary work in developing countries. Retired or pre-retired associates with high level qualification and foreign languages knowledge -"professional elite" Members work usually under an unsalaried basis. Contribute to a variety of economic areas (finance, engineering, banks, insurance, etc). Try to be self-sustained relying on membership fees however most of them depend on external private and public sponsorship. Few are funded by paid services. Legally, they are non-governmental, not for-profit with no political or religious affiliation. In terms of ICT, the majority have old fashioned tools and are willing to use new and modern tools to help in the daily activities. For that training courses should be taken into consideration.

Bringing together 150+ scholars and practitioners from 50+ countries, and funded by the European Commission, COST Action LeverAge () is the first network-building project of its kind in the work and organizational psychology and human resource management (WOP/HRM) aspects of work and aging. Focused on the aging workforce, the Action aims to foster interdisciplinary and multinational scientific excellence and the translation of science to practical and societal impact across 4 years. Based on a research synthesis, we identify five broad research directions for work and aging science including work and organizational practices for a multi-age workforce, successful aging at work, the integration of age-diverse workers and knowledge transfer, aging and technology at work, and career development in later life and retirement. We provide key research questions to guide scientific inquiry along these five research directions alongside best practice recommendations to expand scholarly impact in WOP/HRM.

Comments on an article by D. T. A. M. Kooij et al. (see record 2020-32180-001). It is argued that now more than ever, there is a pressing need to understand and integrate lifespan developmental perspectives into organizational theory and practices. In order to facilitate successful aging at work, an understanding of socioemotional selectivity theory (SST) can allow organizations to successfully target the social and emotional needs of workers as they age. Integrating SST into the process model presented by the focal article provides further insight into the goal engagement and disengagement processes involved in P–E fit by accounting for changes in the types of goals that employees prioritize as they age. Thus, this integration allows for a more nuanced set of organizational recommendations for motivating employees in an increasingly age-diverse workforce

Faced with an exponentially growing world population, what is required is a population stabilization policy to control the global fertility rates. This has implications for the workingage population in the future, and lead to a serious economic crisis. It is envisaged that by the year 2050 the work-age population will have seriously declined but is still expected to look after an increasing dependent population. This paper argues that to maintain sustainable economic growth, and to support the associated technological advances in the future there will be demand for a larger labor force. It notes that the industrialized countries are now managing with migrant populations drawn mostly from high fertility but low-income countries. In the global context this is only a zero-sum game without increasing the stock of the world's actual total labor force. Therefore, the world population needs to increase to meet the growing demand for a larger labor force in order to achieve economic sustainability. Since the earth's population carrying capacity largely depends on advanced technology functioning well, to support society's lifestyle expectations, the world should not defer planned population growth.

This chapter examines the risk of poverty among the elderly in Israel. While there has been an increase in poverty among the general population, the findings point to a decline in poverty rates among the elderly over time. These lower poverty rates relative to the younger population are achieved primarily through the National Insurance Institute old-age benefits that constitute a safety net for many people, as well as through income from retirement pensions. In practice, poverty rates among those entitled to pensions are extremely low. When the elderly population is broken down into three groups, long-term residents, immigrants from the former Soviet Union and Arab Israelis, poverty rates were found to be higher among the two groups with low pension entitlement-immigrants and Arab Israelis. One way that some of the elderly deal with poverty and hardship is to live with younger, working family members. Such living arrangements are especially typical among Arab Israelis and Russian immigrants, granting them a higher economic standing than they would have living on their own and helping them avoid poverty.

This paper examines the determinants of the age of hiring of older workers in Portugal. The Portuguese case is particularly relevant to study because the level of participation in the labor market for older workers
is about six times higher when compared with European countries. The empirical analysis uses Quadros de Pessoal (Tables of Personnel) Portuguese micro database, employer-employee matched files.
Specifically, we use data of workers with more than 50 years old and hired during the previous 5 years, splitting the cross-section sample according to firm size. The tested explanatory variables are related to
employee, job and firm characteristics. The results show that some determinants of the age of hiring are similar to those obtained previously for other countries. Additionally, sectors of activity with specific private
occupational pensions plans affect the hiring of old workers and there are signs of changes in the hiring behavior in last years, probably associated with recent changes in social security laws. Furthermore, the results are relevant for policy design since they identify the sectors and jobs where
opportunities for hiring older workers are higher.

The aging workforce is becoming an increasingly prominent feature of the global labor market, with older workers projected to represent a significant proportion of the workforce in coming years. This demographic shift presents both challenges and opportunities for organizations across various industries. Key challenges include health and wellness concerns, pote ntial technology and skill gaps, and the need for effective succession planning. However, older employees offer valuable experience, institutional knowledge, and diversity of thought, which can enhance innovation and organizational performance.Shifting strategies, from recruitment toempowering and retaining is imperative for organization growth.This article explores best practices for managing an aging workforce, such as implementing flexible work arrangements, promoting health and wellness programs, providing upskilling opportunities, fostering an age-inclusive workplace, and promoting an employee engagement culture. By adopting these strategies, organizations can harness the full potential of their older employees, ensuring competitiveness, resilience, and long-term success.
As global demographics shift, the aging workforce is becoming a central focus for employers and policymakers. The proportion of older individuals in the labor market is growing rapidly, primarily driven by increased life expectancy, delayed retirements, and declining birth rates.As baby boomers, the generation born between 1946 and 1964, continue to retire in large numbers, the labor market is expected to experience significant shifts. Their departure will create a shortage of skilled and experienced workers, particularly in industries where they hold key positions. This exodus could lead to increased demand for younger workers to fill leadership roles and specialized jobs, resulting in a more competitive hiring landscape. Additionally, companies may face knowledge gaps, prompting a push for enhanced succession planning, training, and the use of technology to maintain productivity amidst the loss of institutional expertise. In the U.S., for example, workers aged 55 and older are projected to represent nearly a quarter of the labor force by 2030 the demographic shift poses both challenges and opportunities for organizations, particularly in industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and education, where experienced professionals are crucial.

Kotter's eight stage process for creating a major change is one of the most widely recognised models for change management, and yet there are few case studies in the academic literature that enquire into how this process has been used in practice. This paper describes a change manager's action research enquiring into the use of this Process to manage a major organisational change. The change was initiated in response to the organisation's ageing workforce, introducing a knowledge management program focusing on the interpersonal aspects of knowledge retention. Although Kotter's process emphasises a top-led model for change, the change team found it was necessary to engage at many levels of the organisation to implement the organisational change. The process is typically depicted as a linear sequence of steps. However, this image of the change process was found to not represent the complexity of the required action. Managing the change required the change team to facilitate multiple concurrent instances of Kotter's process throughout the organisation, to re-create change that was locally relevant to participants in the change process.

droga ku odnalezieniu "mnogości zbiegów i styków kultur". Podróż w Pierścieniu Wielkiej-Damy Streszczenie: Artykuł stanowi próbę odczytania motywu podróży na Wschód obecnego w twórczości Cypriana Kamila Norwida w dramacie Pierścień Wielkiej-Damy. Rozważaniom przyświecać będzie pytanie o to, czy wędrowanie prowadzi ku pełni relacyjności, a tym samym, czy może stanowić ono składową rozwoju samoświadomej, otwartej na dialog jednostki. Artykuł dąży więc do ujęcia podróży jako środka do kształtowania holistycznej wizji świata, likwidującego konwencjonalne granice, kształtującego idee braterstwa i dialogiczność. Rozważania skupiają się ponadto na rozróżnieniu figury "podróżnika" i "pielgrzyma" w utworze Norwida, ukazując tym samym Norwidowską diagnozę stanu kondycji ludzkiej. We wnioskach zaakcentowany zostaje epistemologiczny wymiar wędrówki. Konkluzja sprowadza się zatem do podkreślenia elementarnego znaczenia podróży w kontekście symbiotycznego współistnienia w "mnogości zbiegów i styków kultur".

Views of aging include peoples’ assessment of their own aging process and their subjective age. Positive aging views relate to good psychological well-being which predicts better physical and mental health. While these were substantially studied, the moderating roles of self-aging attitudes and psychological well-being in the subjective age-age discrimination connection have been much less explored. The current study used a convenience sample of 568 participants (mean = 66.21y, SD = 11.95, age range 50-95), 55.8% women, 67.1% employed. In line with the hypotheses, young subjective age and psychological well-being were connected to less age discrimination in the workplace and higher psychological well-being mitigated the subjective age-age discrimination at work connection. When the perception of old age as a period of loss was added to the model, adults who perceived old age as a period of loss and reported lower levels of psychological well-being, demonstrated the strongest relationship between an increase in subjective age and an increase in age-related discrimination at work. The findings emphasize the importance of psy-chological well-being of older employees as a resource for improving their attitudes to their last years at work.

This paper aims to analyse teaching as a profession in Albania. Also, the paper aims to answer two research questions: 1. Is the teaching profession gender based in Albania? 2. What are some of the common features in patterns of students attending a study program in teaching in preschool? The first findings show that it is very difficult to state that teaching profession has achieved the full status of a regulated one, at least in practice, in Albania. Second, based on data collecting through a questionnaire, with a sample of 21 teacher-students attending a preschool teaching program study, 9 (42.9%) of them declare that this program study is a second one, listing as reason of choosing the actual status of employing-this training is a condition to change the status, from assistant teacher to teacher; the others evaluate the short time of entering in the labour market and the no need for a licence; also, the average age of entering the labour market is 31.1 years old (the students were between 21-54 years old). Third, the teaching profession in Albania remains dominated by women. Data from four Albanian universities, across 14 study programs that graduate teachers, indicate that only 37 students are male; also, findings reveals a pattern in the teaching workforce: it is gender-based, not a priority in student's decision making after the graduation from upper secondary school, average age of entering the profession is relatively high.

Özet: Cumhuriyet'in kurulmasından 1960'lara kadar, Türkiye'de pronatalist politika izlenmiştir. 1960'lardan günümüze kadar antenatalist politika uygulanmıştır. Bunun neticesinde, Türkiye nüfus piramidinin tabanı, 1980'li yıllardan bugüne, düzleşmiştir. Türkiye nüfusu yaşlanma eğilimindedir. Bu demografik dönüşüm, Türk aile yapısına şöyle yansımıştır: 1960'lardan bugüne çekirdek aile oranı artmaktadır. Çekirdek ailedeki artışın asıl kaynağının çocuksuz aileler olduğu göze çarpmaktadır. Ataerkil geniş aile yapısı yok olma meylindedir. Bununla beraber, günümüzde, dağılmış ailelerin oranı yaklaşık %15'e yükselmiştir. Abstract: From the establishment of the Republic until the 1960s, the pro-natal policy in Turkey was followed. From the 1960s to the day, antenatal policy was applied. As a result, the base of the Turkish population pyramid has flattened since the 1980s. Turkey's population tends to get older. This demographic transformation reflects on the T...

The nursing profession is pivotal to the delivery of healthcare services within the UK National Health Service (NHS). However, studies have shown that an increasing number of older nurses are leaving the NHS as a result of the physical and cognitive demands of the nursing job. In particular, a growing body of literature suggests that ward nurses are at risk of sustaining work-‐related injuries due to the demands of their job. Responding to these challenges, the aim of this PhD research project was to develop a framework to support NHS ward nurses in the ward environment, by exploring how the architectural design features of NHS hospital wards could be improved to create a better fit between ward nurses and their work environment, by applying the Person-‐ Environment Fit theory. The Nursing Tasks and Environmental Assessment Framework (NTEA Framework) consists of two components. The Nursing Tasks Demand Matrix (NTDM), which provides a nuanced understanding of nursing tasks on wards...

THE ROLE OF TRADE UNIONS IN THE ENHANCEMENT OF EMPLOYEES’ QUALIFICATIONS Summary The aim of this article is to discuss the enhancement of employees’ qualifications as an area for the potential joint involvement of Polish trade unions and employers’ organisations, and particularly for the assessment of the negotiability of solutions to remedy the current situation, which is giving rise to concern. The author attempts to answer the question whether the policy pursued by Polish trade unions entails a commitment to the idea that the enhancement of professional qualifications may serve as an efficient tool to secure jobs. The same question is also put with respect to employers, who do not appear to be very interested in negotiating such issues or even in general in Staff training, either. The attitude of diffidence may be explained by the fact that in comparison with the 15 member states of the pre-2004 EU, in Poland entrepreneurs receive a relatively low level of state support for conti...

Background Older people were subjected to significant restrictions on physical contacts with others during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social distancing impacts older people’s experiences of anxiety and loneliness. Despite a large body of research on the pandemic, there is little research on its effects on older people in residential care facilities (RCF) and in home care services (HCS), who are the frailest of the older population. We aimed to investigate the effect of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in March-May 2020 on experiences of anxiety and loneliness among older people living in RCF or receiving HCS and the impact of the progression of the pandemic on these experiences. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional design using data from the national user satisfaction survey (March − May 2020) by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. Survey responses were retrieved from 27,872 older people in RCF (mean age 87 years) and 82,834 older people receiving HCS (mean age 8...

The old age period is a period that individuals experience like other stages in their lives. Although old age is the last stage of life, it is also perceived as the retirement period of people. Some negativities that occur in individuals with aging lead individuals out of working life. In today's world, with the developments in medicine and technology starting to make people's lives easier, the average life expectancy is increasing. Increasing average life expectancy in the world and in Turkey, in parallel with the decrease in birth rates, causes population aging. As a matter of fact, the aging population is a burden on the country's economy. One of the biggest problems of countries is early retirement. According to the World Health Organization, 65 years is defined as a young age. In many parts of the world and in Turkey, the retirement age is set at 65. With the Law No. 5510, some mandatory measures are taken to prevent early retirement in Turkey. With the amendments in the Law No. 5510, the retirement age is determined as 65 and it is ensured that people remain in business life if they are healthy. Law No. 5510 is important in that the aging population of Turkey is both an actively productive segment and not a burden to the country's economy. In this study, the concepts of old age, retirement and aging have been explained through the law no. 5510, using the literature, and suggestions have been developed for the sustainability of the law.

Policies to extend working life (EWL) assume homogeneous workers face similar choices about working longer: this may be difficult for women, workers in physically onerous jobs or in low-paid precarious employment. Work-life trajectories are gendered; women interrupt employment and pension-building to provide care. There is occupational variation in capacities to prolong working lives: physically demanding jobs cause work-related health deficits. The precariously employed cannot contribute regularly to pensions and may face age discrimination. This research provides an inter-occupational and cross-national dimension to EWL research, comparing women teachers and health-care workers in the United States of America (USA) and Republic of Ireland. It documents intra-cohort distinctions that emerge among women when considering educational opportunities and occupational tracks expressed in lifecourse trajectories and accumulated capacities for extended work.

2024, Yaşlanan İşgücü Açısından Fırsatlar, Sorunlar ve Çözüm Önerileri

21. yüzyılın en ciddi tehdit alanlarından biri dünya nüfusunun hızla yaşlanmasıdır. Teknoloji ve bilimsel ilerleme sağlık, beslenme ve bakım hizmetlerindeki dönüşüm, beraberinde yaşam kalitesinin artışı ile demografik yapıyı değiştirmektedir. Bu demografik değişimin özellikle işgücü ve istihdamdaki yaşlı nüfusa hızlı etkisi kaçınılmazdır. İşgücünün yaşlanması farklı kuşakların bir arada çalışması anlamına gelmektedir. Bu da işyerinde insan ilişkilerinin dinamiğini değiştiren bir olgudur. Aktif yaşlanma ve üretken yaşlılık gibi yaşlıların işgücü piyasasında daha uzun kalmalarını sağlayacak istihdam politikasını destekleyen yaklaşımlar her geçen gün işyerlerinde yaşlı çalışan oranlarını arttırmaktadır. Bu değişim eğiliminin işgücü piyasasında var olan sorunları ve eşitsiz ilişkileri etkilemesi kaçınılmazdır. Özellikle yaşlı kadın çalışanların işgücü piyasası koşullarında dezavantajlı konumlarının katlanabileceğini öngörebilmek bir varsayımın ötesindedir. Kadın işgücünün giderek yaşlanması, önümüzdeki yıllarda işgücü piyasasında düşük ücret, korumasız çalışma, sendikasızlaştırma ve sosyal güvencesizlik gibi karşılaşabilecekleri sorunları arttıracaktır. Bu çalışma, kadınların işgücündeki yaşadığı bu sorunların yarattığı çifte dezavantajlı konumu ortaya koyabilmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Artykuł poświęcono wpływowi zmian sytuacji na rynku pracy w Polsce na zmiany strategii personalnych organizacji. Do analizy zmian poziomu i struktury zatrudnienia oraz prognoz dotyczących rynku pracy dla roku 2020 i 2025 wykorzystano dane statystyczne publikowane przez Eurostat i Główny Urząd Statystyczny. Zaprezentowane dane wskazują, że w perspektywie kilku lat na runku pracy w Polsce pojawi się niedobór zasobów ludzkich z perspektywy potrzeb pracodawców. Sytuacja taka zmusi pracodawców do zmian strategii personalnych. Będą one przejawiały się wyższymi wydatkami na zasoby ludzkie (podniesieniem wynagrodzeń, zwiększeniem wydatków na szkolenia, poprawę warunków pracy itp.) i ograniczeniem elastycznych form zatrudnienia. Działania takie będą konieczne w celu stabilizacji załogi i możliwości jej uzupełnienia z zewnętrznego rynku pracy.

Nüfusun giderek yaşlanması günümüzün öne çıkan en önemli demografik olgularından biridir. 20. yüzyıldan önce dünyada nüfus artış hızı yavaş, yaş yapısı durağan ve 65 yaş üstü nüfus, toplam nüfusun küçük bir bölümüyken, 20. yüzyılın ilk yarısında ortalama yaşam beklentisi uzamış, doğum ve ölüm oranları dünya genelinde belirgin düşüşler göstermiş ve yüzyılın ikinci yarısı demografik dönüşüm sürecinde başka bir aşamaya geçildiğine tanıklık etmiştir. Kuşkusuz bu durum gelişmiş ülkeler ile gelişmekte olan ülkeler arasında farklı etkiler ve farklı sorun alanları yaratmaktadır. Avrupa ülkeleriyle karşılaştırıldığında Türkiye'deki yaşlı nüfus oranının yüksek olmadığı görülmektedir. Ancak önemle altı çizilmesi gereken sorun Türkiye'deki yaşlanma hızıdır. Türkiye, Avrupa ülkelerine oranla iki kat hızlı yaşlanmakta ve bu durum gerek yaşlı istihdamı gerek sosyal hizmetler gibi yaşlılara yönelik sosyal politikalar konusunda Türkiye'nin hazırlıksız yakalanmasına neden olmaktadır. Öte yandan yaşlanmaya ilişkin ekonomik ve sosyal politikalara bakıldığında ise "aktif yaşlanma" adıyla çatı bir kavramla karşılaşılmaktadır. Kavram, yaşlıların sağlıklı kalmalarını ve topluma katkıda bulunmalarını sağlayarak çalışmaya devam edebilme kapasitelerini artırmaya yönelik hedefleri içermektedir. Ancak bu noktada öncelikle, yaşlanma ile oluşacak her türlü sorun alanını bireyin sorumluluğuna bırakan veya onlara yapılacak sosyal yardımlar temelinde ele alan liberal anlayıştan uzaklaşmak gerekmektedir. Bunun yerine ekonomi, nüfus ve sosyal politikaların hak temelli bir anlayıştan hareketle oluşturulması gerekmektedir.
