Unemployment is decreasing, but not among older workers – Dziennik.pl

Overall statistics look very promising: in June of registered unemployed was up by 290 thousand. less than last year. Most decline in the number of people without a job at the age of 25-34 years (about 98 thousand.) And 18-24 years (about 77 thousand.). But unemployment in the group of 60+ arrived during the year 7 thousand. (8.5 percent.) – 88.9 thousand.

Professor Zenon Wiśniewski Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun recalls that, following the reform of 2013 . systematically increasing age for both women and men, in which they can retire. In June, he was about eight months longer than before the changes. As a result, the labor market comes seniors.

The remuneration systems operating principle is that remuneration increases with age. Getting rid of older workers, can effectively reduce costs.

It should be noted that despite the increase in the number of unemployed people aged 60 years and their situation in the labor market and so it is definitely better than young people . According to available data, the unemployment rate of persons aged 55-64 amounted in the first quarter, taking into account the informal economy, 6.6 per cent., And among young people under the age of 24 exceeded 23 percent. The problem is that unemployment among young people is falling steadily, and among seniors is growing steadily. – Our goal is to block the surge in unemployment in this group. If a person loses job a few months before reaching retirement age, the activation is difficult – comments in an interview with the DGP Margaret Sarzalska, director of the department of economic analysis and forecasts of the Ministry of Labour .
