| description | This article analyses the impact of policies reducing work time at the end of careers on the employment of younger generations. In the 1970’s, early retirements for older workers were fostered in the aim of allowing the entry of young people into employment and of controlling the job market. We will first show that the regulatory and redistributive stakes of those policies confronted one another until the 1990’s. Secondly, we will stress the recent development of part-time work at career’s end via composite statuses. Thirdly, we will show that the scientific debate surrounding employment sharing between generations refers to the “Lump of Labour Fallacy”, a notion stressing the regulatory effects of early departure policies. We postulate that the regulatory and redistributive effects act simultaneously. Lastly, for Belgium, we empirically analyse the impact of composite statuses on the sharing of employment between generations in terms of sectors of activity. |
