Measure objective and subjective life-work balance for older workers (e.g. through an effort/reward index) considering also active ageing policies. The final aim is to derive KPIs for social health - quantity and quality of social interactions, workplace working conditions as well as pushing and pulling factors affecting retirement and exits from the labour market. Consider the differential demand from working arrangements for older women and pension policies. Include market and non market activities. Identify coping strategies. Make use of the SHARE infrastructure and other surveys. In addition, an ad hoc survey will be defined with the aim to integrate qualitative data to quantitative aspects and the feasibility of producing such data will be assessed.
Brief description of the activities and of the intermediate results:
Quanti-qualitative instruments (focus groups and questionnaires) for understanding how to reconcile work and professional life: 1) transition to retirement; 2) work-life balance; 3) family care loads; 4) job satisfaction; 5) workload; 6) the topic of intergenerational professional and family relationships. Quantitative analysis on the determinants of work-life balance from the European Working Condition Survey (EWCS). Individual factors versus general issues (i.e., Individual factors; Job related factors; Non-standard work scheduling; Perception of increasing work change; Workplace social environment; Firm’s characteristics; Control individual factors; Control country factors).
Main policy, industrial and scientific implications
Identified some critical points to support older workers in managing the transition to retirement maintaining a satisfying work-life balance
Brief description of the activities and of the intermediate results:
1. Estimates of pathways to retirement related to the health status, health hazards and to the risk of injuries. The role of co-designing to guarantee a safe environment for older workers.
2. “Aging at work” measured with physical health - type of job, hazardous and risky tasks, chronic health conditions and/or disabilities; mental health - presence of cognitive impairment, mental distress (anxiety, depression). Indexes of “work capacity” with health demands of each job.
3. Strategies for older workers transiting into retirement emphasize maintaining work-life balance. These are keys to enhance workforce retention and inform policies aimed at supporting aging workers.
4. Estimates of the role of local spending for old age and managing resource scarcity by municipalities: preliminary findings suggest that local spending may not be enough to counteract unequal ageing.
5. Estimates of gender imbalances in older age groups, which also interact with the health of female workers and the gender pension gap (see also WP5).
Brief description of the activities and of the intermediate results:
Investigation of the role of factors affecting the work-life balance and definition of a score of WLB dissatisfaction. Starting from a deeper investigation of the literature, together with the data avalilability from the EWCS, the research team has identified an hybrid model based on econometric and artificial intelligence approach for the assignment of dissatiosfaction WLB score. In this phase, the analysis focused on gender difference in order to indentify the optimal policy portfolio for women and men. In addition, a survey has been defined with the aim to improve the understanding of intergenerational dynamics and occupational well-being. The main goals of the survey is to better understand how work-life balance can be improved analyzing perspectives related to retirement and the impact on families. Results from the survey will be used for training an AI app for the identification of optimal policy portfolio. More recent analyses concern the impact of the smart working on the WLB of workers and the study of feminization and working conditions.
Main policy, industrial and scientific implications
Main practical results concern the definition of a roadmap for the identification of optimal policy portfolio including an app based on artificial intelligence for the definition of WLB dissatisfaction score.
Brief description of the activities and of the intermediate results:
Thanks to the recruitment of the research fellows, the activities were enriched with two topics that are extremely relevant to the analysis of the well-being of the elderly, working and non-working. In particular, we began to study the implementation of co-housing and the adaptation of cities to an ageing population. In addition, a first interview outline was defined to be administered to senior lecturers, with particular reference to the topic of feminisation and TFA.
Main policy, industrial and scientific implications
- Retirement is not a single event but a multifaceted transition, shaped by personal, financial, and social factors. Intergenerational relationships play a dual role: from the one hand older workers may leave to focus on family or health; from the other hand, mentoring opportunities and organizational value encourage their continued participation.
- Identification of six typologies of senior workers revealing diverse needs and motivations: Flexibility is critical for balancing work, caregiving, and personal well-being; Intergenerational dynamics, whether as support systems or sources of empowerment, are central to many profiles.
- The project outlines actionable policies to support older workers: Flexible work arrangements: Promote part-time and project-based roles; Gradual retirement: Allow phased transitions to reduce disruption; Continuous learning programs: Equip seniors with digital and job-specific skills; Intergenerational mentoring: Harness the experience of senior workers to enhance organizational cohesion; Post-retirement engagement: Facilitate volunteering and social participation to maintain retirees' sense of purpose.
- Dissatisfaction with WLB increases with rigid work conditions and insufficient support. Significant regional disparities in Europe were identified: Southern Europe faces more challenges in flexible scheduling and caregiving support; Northern and Western Europe show higher levels of WLB satisfaction; Significant gender disparities in Europe were identified. In particular, the WLB satisfaction of women increases only in Western and Southern Europe when voluntary and charity activities increase; only in Western and Southern Europe when women are dependent workers; only in Northen and Western Europe when sport activities increase.
- Aging is not solely a challenge but a valuable resource for organizations and society. Senior workers exhibit adaptability, resilience, and a willingness to contribute beyond traditional retirement boundaries. Technological proficiency, often underestimated, is growing among older individuals, enabling their continued relevance in the workforce
Brief description of the activities and of the intermediate results:
Study 1 (jointly with task 1,4): Examination of the effect of telework on qualitative job insecurity (JI) for different age groups along with its effects on work-life balance (WLB). We use data from the 2021 European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS), which collected information on working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, including telework experiences, WLB satisfaction, and perceptions of qualitative JI. Contrary to previous research we found a negative relationship between teleworking and qualitative JI, both as general and in relation to career prospects and the effects is stronger for older workers and carer prospects. This counterintuitive result can be explained by higher autonomy and control over work organization. It could also be a consequence of reduced quantitative job insecurity (since the adoption of remote work avoided business disruption and job losses). However, we also found that the intensity of teleworking does not differently affect qualitative JI, also for older workers. Moreover, it emerges that these insecurities act as stressors thereby adversely affecting WLB. Furthermore, we found age-based differences in these dynamics, with older workers experiencing less significant impacts compared to younger workers.
Study 2: Definition of a survey on feminilization in education, with particular focus on elderly teachers.
Study 3: Definition of interview for stakeholders involved in co-housing. Study 4: A survey was administered to 348 workers over 55 years old from eight professional categories across different regions of Italy. It explored retirement intentions, work-life balance, caregiving responsibilities, relational networks (bonding and bridging), and openness to post-retirement learning. The data confirmed that family expectations, care burdens, and social ties significantly influence both the timing of retirement and the perceived well-being during the transition.
Main policy, industrial and scientific implications
Study 1 (in collaboration with task 1,4): will offer actionable recommendations for organizations looking to define age-sensitive telework policies to meet diverse workforce needs. Indeed, they should consider that older workers benefit from telework in terms of WLB but only when it is implemented in a partial and hybrid mode. The study also highlights the importance of introducing HR policies aimed at secure career opportunities and reducing uncertainties related to job quality and social relations, since they have detrimental effects on WLB, probably explainable through the connectivity paradox of telework.
Study 2: the survey investigates the ageing and feminisation process affecting teachers and aspiring teachers, with the aim of exploring the pull and push effects generated by professional practice. The study aims to describe the profiles and recruitment processes of teachers and aspiring teachers, delving into family trajectories, economic careers and motivations that influence the choice to enter, continue or leave the teaching profession.
Study 3: The main results is to provide to policy makers evidence on how new forms of job organization and also living organization (i.e., co-housing) can affect work-life balance of over 50. Study 4: The findings highlight the need for policies that consider retirement as a relational process, not just an individual decision. Politically, this calls for integrated welfare measures that support intergenerational care and flexible exit paths. For industry, it suggests the value of age-friendly workplaces and gradual retirement options. Scientifically, the research advances a multidimensional understanding of aging and work, linking family dynamics, well-being, and labor market participation.
Brief description of the activities and of the intermediate results:
Study 1 (jointly with task 2.2 – follow up): Examination of the effect of telework on qualitative job insecurity (JI) for different age groups along with its effects on work-life balance (WLB): Drawing on previous empirical research and relevant theories (COR theory, SOC theory, Socio-emotional selectivity theory) we built solid ground and revise dour previous research hypothesis accordingly. We also tested the moderating roles of some individual and organizational resources in the relationship between qualitative JI and WLB.
Study 2 (follow-up): The objective of this study has been to analyze the housing model in terms of opportunities, with a particular focus on how the reorganization of co-housing for the elderly can influence territorial social policies. The method used involves an evaluative analysis of the policies implemented, based on secondary and primary data, including qualified opinions obtained through interviews with policymakers and key stakeholders.
Study 3 (follow-up): The objective is to analyze the social dynamics within urban processes through a quantitative-qualitative study of the spaces inhabited by elderly people. The research will focus on the usability of built environments (urban and residential), access to services (healthcare, care and assistance, mobility, social activities, leisure, and use of digital tools), and the formal and informal support networks that facilitate the aging process (family networks, neighborhood policies and practices, associations). In these months we proceed to the processing and analysis of collected data of urban transformation in order to define semi-structured interviews to administer to policy makers.
Study 4 (follow-up): Drawing on the qualitative data collected during the initial phase of the Age-it project (Ageing Well in Ageing Society), in this phase we expand the discussion on active ageing by examining how this process influences the role and public status of teachers.
Study 5 (new) (jointly with task 2.2): examining how national digital development, as measured by the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), relates to active ageing outcomes in nine Euro-Mediterranean (EuroMed) countries. By examining this intersection, the work seeks to understand how digital transformation can either foster or hinder inclusive ageing processes in a region experiencing demographic and economic fragility. The analysis adopts a cross-sectional and comparative design, integrating country-level data from DESI [2018] and the Active Ageing Index [AAI, 2018].
Main policy, industrial and scientific implications
Study 1 offers an original contribution to the debate on telework and work-life balance (WLB) by adopting a nuanced approach that goes beyond the traditional binary distinction (telework vs. no telework). Findings show that telework is positively associated with WLB and, unexpectedly, negatively linked to qualitative job insecurity. Importantly, resources such as job autonomy, work engagement and financial security moderate the negative effect of qualitative insecurity on WLB, though this effect does not emerge among older workers. For HR and policy makers, these insights highlight the importance of designing flexible telework policies that also strengthen individual resources, especially for vulnerable groups. Promoting autonomy, motivation and economic stability can help protect employees’ work-life balance, even in uncertain contexts.
Study 2 The implications of the study, regardless of the specific contexts examined, offer further reflections on suitable housing for active aging, with particular attention to co-housing. This provides useful insights for better understanding how to develop this model in Italy.
Study 3 The implications of the study concern the new design of cities, with particular focus on City 4.0. In particular, the definition of semi-structured interviews will provide a tool for understanding how and if policy makers are aware of difficulties linked to ageing and living in Italian municipalities.
Study 4 Despite being a crucial occupational group within the public and educational system, teachers face increasingly diverse social risks, while their economic and symbolic rewards continue to diminish. Then, the study suggest policy implications on difficulties encountered by teachers in the ageing process.
Study 5 Despite a general positive correlation between DESI and AAI, several countries (show a mismatch, highlighting that digital progress does not automatically lead to improved ageing outcomes. Material aspects of digitalization (e.g. connectivity, public services) correlate more strongly with AAI scores than human-capital-based dimensions. The analysis reveals a structural divide between Balkan and Western EuroMed countries and draws attention to persistent digital and social inequalities. The study suggests that digitally inclusive ageing strategies must go beyond infrastructure, addressing digital literacy, cultural inclusion, and participatory design for older adults. Policies should prioritize lifelong learning, user-centered technology, and territorial equity to ensure that digitalization supports - not marginalizes - ageing populations, especially in vulnerable Southern European regions.
Brief description of the activities and of the intermediate results:
- Study 1 (jointly with WP1 - task 1.4 – follow up): Examination of the effect of telework on qualitative job insecurity (JI) for different age groups along with its effects on work-life balance (WLB): We reinforce the theoretical background of the study that leads to more robust research hypothesis and extended the previous analysis through further statistical elaboration. Specifically, we improved the moderation analysis using logistic econometric models and computing the conditional marginal effects of some job-related resources, i.e., work engagement, job autonomy, workplace social support, and financial security. We also interpreted the results to derive relevant theoretical and practical implications.
- Study 2 (follow-up): The objective of this study has been to analyze the housing model in terms of opportunities, with a particular focus on how the reorganization of co-housing for the elderly can influence territorial social policies. During this period, the data collection phase was completed, and the phase of organising and analysing the collected data began. This has led to the analysis of implemented policies and projects developed in Turin, concerning active ageing policy and the right to the city for older people, in terms of capabilities and human development.
- Study 3 (follow-up): The objective is to analyze the social dynamics within urban processes through a quantitative-qualitative study of the spaces inhabited by elderly people. The research will focus on the usability of built environments (urban and residential), access to services (healthcare, care and assistance, mobility, social activities, leisure, and use of digital tools), and the formal and informal support networks that facilitate the aging process (family networks, neighborhood policies and practices, associations). During this period, the research activity focused on organizing the collected data in view of the expiration of the research grant. In particular, work was carried out on the editing and curation of the journal Cartografie Sociali. Rivista di sociologia e scienze umane, issue no. 19, entitled titolo “Oltre l’età? Metamorfosi ed effetti sociali dell’invecchiamento”, of which I am co-editor together with Dr. Anna D’Ascenzio and Valentina Lamonica.
- Study 4 (follow-up): We have analyzed how women over 50 use lifelong learning pathways to start a new job phase in another professional space. The study has showed that gender and age dynamics, together with precarious school conditions, impact on processes of anticipatory socialization, contributing to the redefinition of economic status and professional roles.
- Study 5 (follow up) (jointly with WP1 - task 1.4): Starting from the previous study that investigates the relationship between national digital development - quantified through the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) - and active ageing outcomes across nine Euro-Mediterranean (EuroMed) countries, we are working to extend the analysis to all European countries. The research aims to elucidate the ways in which digital transformation may either promote or impede inclusive ageing processes. The analysis employs a cross-sectional, comparative approach, integrating country-level data from DESI (2018) and the Active Ageing Index (AAI, 2018).
- Study 6 (follow up): Literary texts, artistic expressions, and documents can broaden our understanding of a civilization and culture they bear witness to. Songs, as unconventional sources of information, have the power to narrate history, society, customs, the landscape, and cultural identity. Through their melodies and lyrics, songs capture the essence of an era, reflect societal changes, and preserve the collective memory of a community. We are working on the collection and the analysis of songs and their texts.
- Study 7 (follow-up) The investigation delved into three central dimensions: the quality of working life for seniors, work-life balance, and retirement expectations. The findings reveal that recognizing senior skills, supporting intergenerational relationships, and organizational flexibility are key factors in promoting active aging and a sustainable transition to retirement. However, the study also highlights significant challenges, such as the lack of policies aimed at work-life balance and the appreciation of senior contributions, which directly impact the risk of social exclusion and the well-being of seniors in their final working years. Very interesting key-findings have been found in terms of push and pull factors to retirements.
- Study 8 (follow-up) From survey defined in study 7, we propose a mixed and hybrid methodology, combining econometric analysis with artificial neural networks to identify key determinants of dissatisfaction in work-life balance (WLB) among older Italian workers, for the identification of policies based on Italian respondents focused on the optimization of work-life balance. This methodological innovation enhances the interpretive depth of the survey, enabling both a classification of dissatisfaction into distinct intensity tiers and an assessment of the relative weight of each factor shaping these outcomes. The integration of quantitative modelling and qualitative interpretation allows the study to generate evidence-based and user-oriented recommendations. Specifically, the hybrid approach provides a decision-support tool that managers and policymakers can employ to design personalized interventions, ranging from workload management and organizational flexibility to mentoring schemes and intergenerational support.
Leveraging data from INAIL and ISTAT, the aim is to investigate trends in workplace accidents among Italian workers from 2008 to 2021, with a focus is posed on the relationship between ageing and work-related injuries, both fatal and non-fatal. Several indexes have been created, such as workplace accidents gender, age group and sector of economic activity. For instance, results suggest a decreasing overall trend in non-fatal injuries; however young workers (15-34) fare 1.5 times more likely to experience such injuries than older workers (50-64). Conversely, fatal accidents are significantly more frequent between workers aged over 65 (5 times) and 50-64 (2 times), when compared to their youngest counterpart. Furthermore, our worka nalyses the main cause of workplace accidents by leveraging data from the Infor.MO database.
Main policy, industrial and scientific implications
- Study 1 (jointly with WP1 - task 1.4): The study focuses telework research on qualitative, perception-based risk as a mechanism for WLB and identifies threshold-type buffers. On average, greater telework intensity improves WLB. For workers aged 50+, WLB benefits plateau; telework is associated with lower subjective quantitative job insecurity - general and career-prospects. Work engagement, job autonomy, supervisory and peer support buffer the insecurity-WLB link only beyond threshold levels, with the strongest effects for financial security and added benefits for older teleworkers. Practice should shift from “more telework” to better design: meeting discipline, protected focus windows, quiet hours, escalation rules, and transparent eligibility/provisioning; Ensure remote-equivalent access to high-visibility work and career-equity guardrails, and provision autonomy, high-quality support, engaging work, and financial scaffolding to minimum effective doses; As telework institutionalizes, sustaining low qualitative insecurity will hinge on transparent pipelines, inclusive practices, and stable, fair provisioning across age groups.
- Study 2 Regarding political implications, the research may influence local and national policy frameworks in supporting long-term strategies for housing and older people. Regarding scientific implications, the outputs contribute to the improvement of the state of the art, opening up new research directions and supporting interdisciplinary approaches.
- Study 3 With regard to the main political implications concerning the urban dimension of older people’s lives, the research aims to influence policymakers to develop local and national policy frameworks and public policies designed to support strategies for more age-friendly cities, drawing inspiration from the literature of international organizations cited in the study, primarily the WHO’s Global Network for Age-friendly Cities and Communities.
- Study 4 The study highlights the need to develop policies that reduce age-related competitive disadvantages, promoting a more inclusive form of female participation in the tertiary labour market. It also, underscores the importance of revising access systems to new professional fields at later stages of life, encouraging lifelong learning to enhance and strengthen the skills of mature female workers.
- Study 5 (jointly with WP1 - task 1.4) Expanding the scope of the analysis to include additional European countries would enable a more comprehensive assessment of cross-national performance in relation to ageing-related policies. Such an extension would facilitate the identification of both high-performing and underperforming nations, thereby offering a valuable opportunity to examine the specific policy frameworks and institutional strategies that contribute to these outcomes. This comparative approach could yield actionable insights for policy transfer and adaptation, particularly in contexts seeking to enhance their responses to demographic ageing.
- Study 6: This study shows as music serves as a bridge between generations, offering insights into the values, struggles, and aspirations of the people, focusing on how elderly have changed their roles in the society.
- Study 7: The study offers evidence-based recommendations for policies aimed at combating all forms of ageism. These include the implementation of flexible working arrangements, formal mentoring programs, and support interventions for intergenerational caregiving responsibilities, which assist workers in their transition to retirement. The growing number of respondents to the administered survey enhances the analytical potential of the study, enabling a more robust examination of the push and pull factors influencing retirement decisions. This expanded dataset provides a valuable evidence base for generating insights that may inform policy makers and organizational leaders, particularly in designing strategies that address the complexities of workforce ageing and retirement planning.
- Study 8: Drawing on the survey data from Study 7, the application of the proposed mixed methodology enables the formulation of policy recommendations and practical tools that are closely aligned with respondents’ actual needs concerning work-life balance. This approach facilitates a more targeted and responsive design of interventions, grounded in empirical evidence, and enhances the relevance of policy actions by directly incorporating the lived experiences and preferences of the surveyed individuals. Moreover, the tool’s capacity to stratify dissatisfaction by intensity tiers supports efficient prioritization of interventions, directing limited resources to where they can yield the largest well-being gains.
Evidence of age-specific injury risk highlights the need for targeted safety regulations and, plausibly, the provision of safer roles for older workers. On the basis of sector-specific results, industries could implement targeted safety programs and invest in tools that protect the health of both young and old workers. Moreover, we highlight the need for a a multi-source, uniformly adopted injury-reporting system that overcomes underreporting behaviours.
