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 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.

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.

Individual Risk Factors

This study monitored the evolution of psychologists' (n = 31) conceptions of suicide prevention over the 9-year course of the National Suicide Prevention Project in Finland and assessed the feasibility of the theoretical model for analyzing suicide prevention developed in earlier studies [ Upanne, 1999a , b ]. The study was formulated as a retrospective self-assessment where participants compared their earlier descriptions of suicide prevention with their current views. The changes in conceptions were analyzed and interpreted using both the model and the explanations given by the subjects themselves. The analysis proved the model to be a useful framework for revealing the essential features of prevention. The results showed that the freely-formulated ideas on prevention were more comprehensive than those evolved in practical work. Compared to the earlier findings, the conceptions among the group had shifted toward emphasizing a curative approach and the significance of individual risk factors. In particular, greater priority was focused on the acute suicide risk phase as a preventive target. Nonetheless, the overall structure of prevention ideology remained comprehensive and multifactorial, stressing multistage influencing. Promotive aims (protective factors) also remained part of the prevention paradigm. Practical working experiences enhanced the psychologists' sense of the difficulties of suicide prevention as well as their criticism and feeling of powerlessness.
