The importance of age for the reallocation of labor

An interesting study from the Swedish Institute of Future Studies, about the links between the age of the workers and employment, on a long time period (data 1986-2002). This article has been written by Marie Gartell (Institute for Futures Studies, Stockholm University, Department of Economics), Ann-Christin Jans (Swedish Public Employment Service) and Helena Persson(The Swedish Confederation of Professional Associations) and could inspire people dealing with ageing workers policies.

Abstract
Using employer-employee data covering the whole Swedish economy over a uniquely long time period from 1986 to 2002, we examine how job and worker flows have been distributed across age groups. We find that job and worker flows vary by age groups, not only with respect to magnitude and variation, but with respect to direction as well.
