Workplaces must be adapted to the needs of older employees.

In order to enable people to work longer and avoid unemployment, jobs and labour promotion must be adapted to the needs of older employees and the unemployed. To this end, for example, health promotion should be improved within the framework of SGB II (citizens' benefits) and SGB III (labour promotion). There should be labour market programmes specifically for older employees in order to avoid or at least shorten periods of unemployment in the transition to retirement.
