Age discrimination in late working life in Sweden

This paper aims to contribute understanding the structure of age discrimination in late working life  by explaining the relationship between age, the duration of unemployment  and what follows unemployment. Using Swedish registry data, the duration of  unemployment  and re-employment status of age groups of 46-64 are examined. Results show that older employees are more likely to stay unemployed, less likely to find gainful employment and more likely to stay out of the labor market after unemployment.
