As the German retirement pay system is a pay-as-you-go system, legal retirement age is increased step by step to 67 years. Long before individuals actually retire, environmental factors but also personal factors influence the path of the retirement process. Work ability can be maintained through continuing education. Understanding and possibly even increasing older employees' motivation to participate in continuing education is vital to achieving the European Union's aim of individuals' "lifelong learning" to cope with challenges of technological and organisational change. This empirical study analyses the influence of work context factors on motivation to participate in continuing education. Data source is the "Survey on continuing in employment after reaching pensionable age", commissioned in 2008 by the Bundesinstitut f{\"u}r Bev{\"o}lkerungsforschung (Federal Institute for Population Research). Results show weak but significant influences of some work context factors. Recommendations for actions and further research directions are given.}, language = {en} } @article{ThiemeBruschBuesch2015, author = {Thieme, Paula and Brusch, Michael and B{\"u}sch, Victoria}, title = {The role of continuing training motivation for work ability and the desire to work past retirement age}, series = {European Journal for Research on the Education and Learning of Adults}, volume = {6}, journal = {European Journal for Research on the Education and Learning of Adults}, number = {1}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0298-opus4-7687}, pages = {25 -- 38}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Germany, relying on a pay-as-you-go pension system has increased regular retirement age to 67 due to its ageing population caused by decreasing birth rates and increasing life expectancy.

Results show significant positive correlations between continuing training motivation and work ability and desire to work past retirement age. Differentiated for selected respondent groups the level of qualification has a significant influence. This effect was stronger than any differences with regard to gender or employment participation. Results imply external conditions only partly explain older workers' work ability or desire to work past retirement age.

Untersuchungen zur Erwerbst{\"a}tigkeit und zum Engagement im zivilgesellschaftlichen und familialen Bereich zeigen einerseits ein relatives hohes T{\"a}tigkeitsniveau der 55- bis 70-J{\"a}hrigen in Deutschland. Andererseits ist diesbez{\"u}glich eine starke Variabilit{\"a}t zwischen Individuen und sozialen Gruppen zu beobachten. Neben der wachsenden Unbestimmtheit der {\"U}bergangsphase vom Erwerbsleben in den Ruhestand beeinflussen die sozial ungleiche Chancenverteilung im Lebenslauf die Potenziale {\"a}lterer Menschen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird der Potenzialbegriff als Bestandteil von Alternsstilen in einer differenzierten Form betrachtet: neben produktiven T{\"a}tigkeiten (Erwerbsarbeit, b{\"u}rgerschaftliches Engagement und familiale Unterst{\"u}tzung), sind das „Wollen", d. h. die Absichten, Einstellungen und Pl{\"a}ne sowie das „K{\"o}nnen", das Humankapital und Gelegenheitsstrukturen umfasst, grundlegende Dimensionen. Innerhalb dieser Bereiche und der sich daraus ergebenden gruppenspezifischen Muster sind die Rahmenbedingungen f{\"u}r eine Realisierung von Potenzialen {\"a}lterer Menschen unterschiedlich verteilt, was zu einer Gleichzeitigkeit von Kompetenzen und Defiziten, von „produktivem" und „konsumtivem" Alter f{\"u}hren kann.
