Notes

1. Such a low age limit has its starting point on the one hand in the EU-practice of the statisticians to take the age of 45 years as the demarcation line between being a ‘younger’ (24–44 years) and ‘older’ (45–64 years) worker (Descy 2006). On the other hand, it relates to the age-related ‘employability’ problems of those who are 45+ and unemployed. See Tikkanen (2008) for a more comprehensive overview to the definitions of an ‘older worker’.
