Promoting Better Career Mobility for Longer Working Lives in Czechia

AUTHOR Oecd
PUBLISHER OECD (06/24/2025)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
In Czechia, rapid population ageing and acute labour shortages make it essential to better engage and retain mid-career and older workers. Job mobility can play a critical role in this effort, not only by enhancing wages and job quality but also enabling workers to adapt their careers to align with their evolving needs and the labour demands of the digital and green transitions. However, voluntary job mobility in Czechia, as in other OECD countries, significantly declines with age, limiting older workers' ability to navigate these changes. This report provides an assessment of policy challenges that hinder voluntary job mobility in mid-to-late career and develops policy recommendations for enhancing career progression opportunities as workers age. It discusses the role of work incentives and employment regulations to facilitate job changes into higher-quality and sustainable positions, as well as the role of flexible work arrangements, age management policies, workplace health measures and smoother transitions into retirement that can support both men and women to stay in work for longer. Finally, the report discusses the role of training opportunities and high-quality career guidance in facilitating mobility into higher-skilled jobs at all ages.
