?:abstract
  • The work capacity and ability of older adults is not only determined by physical and mental conditions, but also by personal convictions on one’s abilities at advanced age. A negative perception of age and increasing exclusion impedes occupational engagement. The thought of leaving a job can also cause substantial fears of loss, which can be seen as problematic. In a representative survey of the German population between the ages of 45 and 80, questions addressed the working situation, the personal perception of age, and the views on a later withdrawal from work. The study focused on how the perception of age and the expectation of withdrawal from work differ with regard to occupational groups, gender, general life circumstances and age, as well as how these factors impact on educational behaviour. The results of the study show a clear interdependence between participation in continuing education and personal perception of age. Educationally active ageing adults generally view their age more positively and their participation in continuing education seems to be a significant factor impacting the expectation of one’s own retirement. Two types of employee around the end of working life were identified on the basis of a cluster analysis: occupationally-oriented individuals who mainly fear a massive loss when leaving working life and can hardly see alternative fields of engagement; and recreationally-oriented individuals who view withdrawal from the working world as an opportunity to focus on hobbies and other private interests. These groups differ in both educational behaviour and educational interest. (xsd:string)
