ESF Age Network: Showcasing good practice in age management

We’ve just come across the ESF Age Network’s website. This is a learning network supported by the European Social Fund with the aim of identifying, validating and disseminating ‘high-level strategies to manage the ageing workforce in Europe effectively’.

Their intention is to make their website a showcase for examples of good practice in age management from EU member states.

Amongst their ‘products’ is A Good Practice Guide (links to it from here) with examples of publicly funded programmes reviewed by the Network.  The aim of these programmes was to support older people find work, improve their employment prospects or help them to extend their working lives either directly or by promoting age management policies and practices amongst employers.
