Listen on Spotify – “SAFE and Sound” podcast launch

4 June, 2025

With the ageing demographics reshaping labour markets, we want to initiate a discussion about employment opportunities for individuals in their pre-retirement and retirement years. When talking about age-friendly practices, it is essential to acknowledge that aging begins as soon as we enter the labor market. However, age and ageing have previously been overlooked in research regarding transitions during our working life. The SAFE project team invites you to an open dialogue about changing this narrative and seeing an ageing population as an opportunity.
