Age‐biased Technical and Organizational Change, Training and Employment Prospects of Older Workers
利用法国企业面板数据,研究培训能否缓解技术与组织变革对年长工人就业的负面影响,发现培训虽能提升其就业能力,但难以抵消新技术带来的年龄偏向。
We analyse the role of training in mitigating the negative impact of technical and organizational changes on the employment prospects of older workers. Using a panel of French firms in the late 1990s, we first estimate wage bill share equations for different age groups. As a second step, we estimate the impact of ICT , innovative work practices and training on employment flows by age group in the next period. Training appears to have a positive impact on the employability of older workers, but it offers limited prospects to dampen the age bias associated with new technologies and innovative work practices.
