Abstract

The impact of losing their jobs on individuals causes an existential crisis for all ages, but the psychological, economical and social impact stronger as people advance in age. Personal perception of job loss varies from person to one person to another; some are able to quickly rejoin the labor market, while some lock up and then need help to get out of that state. States with some institutions and NGOs are trying to encourage active aging through a series of active and passive employment measures. The aging population is a real and very serious problem current facing all countries in the European Union and beyond. Amid rising life expectancy, low birth rates and demographic transition, the aging population raises serious issues to the social protection systems that are in a financial crisis coupled with a deep prolonged global economic crisis. Finding effective policies and measures to encourage active aging is more than necessary to keep business people active and professionally competent.
