The importance of lifelong learning is recognized by the governments of many countries, especially when a nation is aging. The conditions created by the state for their social, creative and professional self-realization, as well as maintaining their active longevity, allow citizens of retirement and pre-retirement age to remain socially active, competitive in the labor market. This article reveals the relevance of training persons of pre-retirement age in programs of additional professional training in the field of hospitality. The experience of training students according to the international standards of Worldskills in the competence «Hotel Receptioning» is presented.

Abstract The employability of an aging population in a world of continuous and biased technical change is top of the political agenda. Due to endogenous human capital depreciation the effective retirement age is often below statutory retirement age resulting in permanent non-employability of older workers. We analyze this phenomenon in a putty-putty human capital vintage model and focus on education and the speed of human capital depreciation. Introducing a two-stage education system with initial schooling and lifelong learning, not even lifelong learning turns out to be capable of aligning economic and statutory retirement. However, well-designed education programs will keep more workers in highly productive activities at the end of their working life, and hence will substitute for simple social transfers, or for an early switch towards very low paid jobs.

The World

In the world of work, demographic change is one of today's biggest challenges. The necessary raising of the retirement age can be effected in a socially acceptable way only by boosting the quality of work for all the workers. A look at the countries of Scandinavia shows that two aspects are of special importance: the involvement of workers in lifelong learning and the organization and planning of work, so as to provide workers with more autonomy and sense of responsibility in performing their tasks. Against the increasing commodification of work within companies, and in the perspective of the increase in the indirect forms of monitoring work outputs, the provision of greater autonomy level and responsibility becomes ambivalent. As a result, forms of participation are needed to make the workplace environment, the work organization, the company and the area of health management and promotion accessible to democratic discussion.
