(iv) setting country-specific targets for access to training and lifelong learning for older workers, broken down by age group and gender, thus increasing the proportion of people of all generations in initial and further training; and facilitating access to training for older workers by the setting up of incentives/bonuses by employers for older workers who decide to continue their education after the age of 50;

1. Encouraging more people to work more and longer so as to obtain similar entitlements as before: increases in pensionable ages; rewarding later and penalising earlier retirement (see figure 8); moves from benefits based on earnings in best years towards entitlement based on working career average earnings; closing or restricting early exit pathways; labour market measures to encourage and enable older workers to stay in the labour market and encouraging greater gender equality in the labour market.

(4) The Joint Report by the Commission and the Council on Adequate and Sustainable Pensions, having examined the various policies implemented by the Member States, underlined how balanced progress in addressing both social and financial concerns is the key to ensuring the political acceptability of pension reforms and invited Member States to maintain the impetus of the reform process and to implement credible and effective strategies; raising the effective retirement age and hence the employment rate for older workers represents a powerful tool for addressing both concerns.

17. Calls for significant efforts to be made to raise employment rates, especially for women, disabled and older workers, by the following actions: firstly, tax incentives for enterprises which hire these targeted groups, such as deductions on income taxes linked to job creation and reduction of taxes on labour (including social contributions), in particular for low income workers - this should be balanced by an increase in indirect taxation if budgetary stability were to be put at risk; secondly, an increase in the effective retirement age through voluntary decisions by workers, supported by an increase of expectations on pension level ...[+++]s and by incentives for enterprises who do not reduce employment of older workers; thirdly, the promotion of all aspects of quality of work including health and safety at work; finally calls for the setting-up of regional and local employment strategies;

Reaching the Stockholm target of an employment rate of 50% for older workers (55-64) by 2010 and the Barcelona objective of raising by five years the average age at which people stop working in the EU by 2010 constitute major challenges for the EU and the Member Sates.
