This document summarizes the findings of surveys conducted in France on senior employment and training. It found that company size, training opportunities, and years with a company influence access to training for workers aged 45+. While most employers see seniors as dedicated, some see them as less flexible. The document recommends helping smaller companies support seniors, and providing individual pathways for workers and tools for both employers and employees to plan second careers and anticipate demographic changes.
