The population of the EU is aging rapidly. In many sectors, securing the supply of skilled labor will therefore be a major challenge for companies. Consequently, the number of workers who will leave the labor market in the next few years will be significantly higher than the number of new workers.
There is ample evidence that seniors over 50 who continue to work remain socially active and healthy. In addition, seniors over 50 have a lot of experience, know-how and can contribute to the success of their employers.
Seniors over 50 are encouraged to expand their activity but at the same time they are caught in situations of impossible career management by employers, both for maintaining employment and for hiring. They are more exposed to long-term unemployment and those aged 60 to 64 have a low rate of participation in economic development.
Studies and surveys have shown that those aged 65 and over or “retired” are ready to work or be consulted part-time, which could clearly fill the “gap” in the supply of qualified labour.
Other research referring to the assessment of entrepreneurship roles suggests that self-employment in seniors boosts their self-esteem and motivates them to take on new tasks and perform well at those tasks.
In summary, there are many advantages to training seniors while facilitating entrepreneurship.

Spectrum Research Centre CLG
Spectrum Research Centre (SRC) was established in 2017 to support young academics to bring their research into action. SRC was founded specifically at the request of local social and academic researchers and post-graduate students, who identified a local need to develop a space where research hypotheses and findings can be validated through local actions. At the outset, SRC aimed to support academics throughout their research activities; however, as the company has grown, the aim is now also to provide academics with opportunities to give their research a European perspective.
