Ganzes Interview: orf.at/av/video/onD...

„Die Politik muss die Unsicherheit in den Exportmärkten bekämpfen, um die Jobs in Österreich zu sichern“, sagt der Ökonom @lukaslehner.bsky.social (WU Wien). Beispielsweise müsse man die drohenden US-Zölle abwenden.

Steigt die Arbeitslosigkeit, wird es für ältere Arbeitssuchende besonders schwer, einen Job zu finden.

Die Aktion 55+ ist eine innovative Ankündigung im Regierungsprogramm. Offen bleibt die Umsetzung.

Um effektiv zu sein, sollte das Programm auf Erfahrungen wie der Marienthal Jobgarantie aufbauen.

We're hiring a postdoc in labor economics at IAB Nuremberg! Join @ineshelmecon.bsky.social, @jnimczik.bsky.social & me on a project about gig work.

Vollkommen richtig @lukaslehner.bsky.social . Die beste Pensionspolitik ist Arbeitsmarktpolitik. Österreich muss mehr in Arbeitsmarktpolitik investieren und auch die Betriebe mehr in die Pflicht nehmen, damit sie Älteren eine Chance geben. Derzeit beschäftigen 30 % aller Betriebe keine Älteren.

Österreich hat die Beschäftigung älterer Menschen deutlich gesteigert: ein Plus von 20 Prozentpunkten in 15 Jahren. Mit den richtigen Rahmenbedingungen ist noch deutlich mehr möglich - unabhängig vom gesetzlichen Pensionsantrittsalter.

Thanks a lot, Tom!

Thanks for diving deep into the article and reviewing it thoughtfully, @tvanheuvelen.bsky.social, really appreciate it!

At the blog I wrote about a new paper by @natewilmers.bsky.social , @zparolin.bsky.social , and @lukaslehner.bsky.social .

We're living in a novel era of inequality discordance. What's going on?!
