Working after the mandatory retirement age. An economics' perspective.

Successful aging is an under-researched area in economics despite the discipline having a tradition of studying economics of aging in general. Drawing on economic and statistical models, the research project will address the following questions:

 - How, and on what basis, are elderly workers matched to employers within the current system?

 - How large and flexible is the demand for elderly workers from employers?

 - How do matching profiles of elderly workers and employers map into individual wellbeing and firm's productivity?

 How can matching processes be (re)designed to deliver better outcomes?
