The labour market is undergoing a transformation driven by new technologies, with important implications for older workers. In Italy, this process is particularly relevant given the ageing workforce. Using data from the 2021 European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS), this study examines the association between labour market integration and psychological well-being among workers aged 50 and over, measured through composite indices. Results from multivariate and quantile regression models show that higher perceived labour market integration is positively associated with psychological well-being, after controlling for job insecurity, exposure to digital technologies. These findings support the need for more inclusive and sustainable work environments for older workers.

Abstract

The labour market is undergoing a transformation driven by new technologies, with important implications for older workers. In Italy, this process is particularly relevant given the ageing workforce. Using data from the 2021 European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS), this study examines the association between labour market integration and psychological well-being among workers aged 50 and over, measured through composite indices. Results from multivariate and quantile regression models show that higher perceived labour market integration is positively associated with psychological well-being, after controlling for job insecurity, exposure to digital technologies. These findings support the need for more inclusive and sustainable work environments for older workers.
