Abstract
Further Training for older Employees as a Response to skilled Labour Shortages
Establishments have different opportunities to overcome a shortage of skilled workers. One of these strategies is to retain older, qualified employees in the workforce. In order to maintain their employability and to adapt their skills to changes of the working environment, further training is an important requirement. This article investigates firms' training activities for older workers. It pays particular attention to the potential impact of difficulties in finding qualified workers. Empirical analysis, which draws on the IAB establishment panel, shows that firms that cannot meet their skill needs on the external labor market are more likely to offer further training to their older employees than firms without such difficulties.
