Description
Due to changes in retirement and employment policies the participation of older workers in the German labour force has been increasing in the recent decade. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), the book examines developments in the training participation patterns of older workers. The author gives special attention to the relations between the rate of training participation and the level of job satisfaction. The findings indicate an increase in training participation, particularly of workers aged 55-59, and imply a positive correlation between the rate of training and job satisfaction. Hila Zboralski-Avidan studied Management of Education and Literature and Sociology of Education at Tel-Aviv University (Israel). She holds a PhD of Education from the Freie Universitt Berlin.
