摘要:
面對國內人口老化趨勢,中高齡及高齡就業對策成為重要課題。就文獻彙整
觀察:中高齡及高齡勞工退離職場之因素包括個人身分屬性、經濟能力、健康狀
況等;而各國多透過專責機構、就業支持系統、企業合作、法律保障等多方措施
促進中高齡及高齡者持續就業。國內中高齡就業市場變化趨勢,主要包括:年齡
愈長留在原職場比率愈高、流動性降低;且存在行業差異;中高齡及高齡者於尋
職過程未能就業主因以沒有工作機會,其中未有合適的職缺尤為主要。至於曾有
工作機會但未去就業者,以待遇不符期望為主。
透過質性訪談,發現國內中高齡及高齡者就業動機,包括經濟需求,獲得社
會歸屬感,工作成就感與自我價值實現等。而未就業原因則與健康與體力負擔,
健康與體力問題可能增加工傷風險、技能不足,如AI、數位化能力、代際摩擦等。
有關再就業所需資源,就勞方而言,期望能提供中高齡或高齡友善課程,提
供彈性工時及友善的工作職位。而資方則希望政策應更公開透明,政策執行或實
施期間更明確。對於政府就業促進政策則希望:簡化流程;政策宜針對產業特性;
更彈性化之職訓課程;強化友善職場環境建設,消除代際摩擦等。
With an aging population, promoting employment among middle-aged and older
adults has become a key issue. Studies show that factors influencing their labor force
exit include personal attributes, finances, and health. Countries support continued
employment through dedicated agencies, job-matching systems, legal protections, and
employer cooperation. In Taiwan, older workers tend to stay longer in the same job, have
lower mobility, and face industry-specific challenges. Job search barriers include a lack
of suitable opportunities and unsatisfactory pay.
Interviews reveal that motivations for working include financial needs, social
belonging, achievement, and self-worth. Obstacles include health issues, limited digital
skills, and intergenerational conflict. Workers seek flexible hours, age-friendly training,
and supportive roles. Employers expect clearer, more transparent policies. Desired
government measures include streamlined processes, industry-specific support, flexible
training, and efforts to create age-inclusive workplaces and reduce generational tension.
