"Daniele Zaccaria, Emma Garavaglia The combination of institutional variables defining different welfare and productive regimes lead to different degrees of inclusion of older workers in the labour market and to different degrees of protection of older workers from work-related risks deriving from the globalization process. Moreover, the institutional setting also influences the degree of significance that individual characteristics have in shaping employment biographies in later life. By adopting an institution and individual- centered approach, the paper analyses the most critical characteristics that sustain older workers' employability and employment performance, from a cross-national perspective. In particular, it focuses on the role of human capital. Appling longitudinal models to SHARE data we estimate the effect of three different dimensions of human capital (educational level and informal training) on older workers' employability and employment performance in different institutional contexts.

"Le recenti riforme dei sistemi pensionistici poste in essere nella grande parte dei paesi europei hanno lasciato emergere la necessita - all'interno delle organizzazioni - di politiche di gestione delle risorse umane capaci di far fronte alle sfide di un'eta media dei lavoratori e di un mix generazionale costantemente crescenti. A partire dall'introduzione dei fondamentali teorici in materia di age management, sulla base dell'analisi della letteratura sociologica, organizzativa e manageriale, il contributo illustra l'architettura e i primi risultati dell'applicazione di uno strumento di age management - il questionario Quality of Ageing at Work, Qawq - il cui obiettivo e quello di analizzare la qualita dei processi di invecchiamento al lavoro per sostenere una piu efficace gestione di lavoratori di diverse eta. Sviluppato a partire dagli elementi di base del concetto di workability, il Qaw-q produce risultati a sostegno di responsabili delle risorse umane e datori di lavoro chiamati a guidare processi di HRM, ponendo in evidenza l'influenza che l'eta, nei suoi molteplici significati (eta anagrafica, seniority, anzianita contributiva), puo esercitare sulle percezioni individuali di qualita dell'esperienza di lavoro."

"The article discusses the opinions and perceptions of knowledge workers in Italy concerning the shift to remote work during the first countrywide lockdown (March–May 2020) imposed to contain the Covid-19 outbreak. Prior to the pandemic, remote work arrangements in the Italian context were not common. Thanks to a set of 35 interviews to workers who experienced significant disruption to their usual working routine because of the health crisis, we show that a marked element of discovery of remote work characterizes their accounts, articulated across 3 dimensions: temporal organization of work and life, technology, and social relations. We argue that this experience was instrumental for many of them to learn that ‘another work routine is possible', because of the opportunity to try out alternative arrangements in the management of tasks and responsibilities. Yet issues of work-life balance, together with managerial cultures anchored in pre-pandemic forms of organization, considerably affect this perception."
