BSLF for a Sustainable Working Life (SWL) Background In upcoming decades, the Baltic Sea States will face considerable challenges with regard to population ageing as well as the new requirements of the labour market on skills and qualifications. It will concern the need for better synergies between educational systems and labour markets’ demands, responses to ageing workforces and pressures on pension systems. Since the population ageing will have strong impacts both on economic growth, social cohesion (between social groups) and social sustainability (between generations) within the region, it is essential to learn more about how effectively use the resources at hand by fostering active and healthy ageing and increasing the labour force participation of older people. The Baltic Sea Labour Forum (BSLF), established 2012 as a platform for the Social Dialogue between trade unions and employer organizations, is one of five so-called Flagships under EUSBSR Policy Area Education and Employment, with CBSS as the Flagship leader. Members of the Flagship are trade unions and employers´ organizations. The BSLF covers a number of topics of vital importance for developing a sustainable working life in the Member States in Baltic Sea Region; finding answers to the demographic challenge and supporting active ageing and Life Long Learning are top priorities. Aims and actions The project will address three themes, important for the Member States (MS) in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) as well as in the EU as a whole: • The Demographic challenge; • Active ageing and Solidarity between the age groups and • Life Long Learning (LLL) and a Sustainable Working Life. The problems linked to these issues are interdependent and will consequently be tackled with a comprehensive strategy and project logic, in a format developed in the so-called Flagships (FS) and Learning Platforms (LP) in Policy Area Education in the frame of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR). The overarching aim is to improve working life conditions and Life-long learning provisions, systems and policies for elderly in order to promote active ageing and employability. The project will identify, validate, develop and implement good practices and innovative ideas in the field of active ageing and LLL, by means of developing and adapting a transnational, multi-level and multi-sectorial cooperation/co-creation model in the frame of so-called Thematic Working Groups (TWG), Learning Platforms and Flagships, concepts already in use by a larger ESF project in the BSR (BSR Integrate NEETs). The SWL project will be supported by policy relevant, cutting edge research on forecasting and analyzing of demographic and economic/labour market issues, including “future work" and “qualifications needed" perspectives in relation to future technological developments and trends in the BSR. Socio-economic and socio-cultural differences between the MSs concerned will particularly be taken into account; two non-EU Member States (Russian Federation and Iceland) with diverging profiles will give additional inputs and contrasting views. The main actions in the project process will be: • To compile facts and figures and to develop forecasts and research modalities on demographic, economic, labour market and technological change in the MSs concerned and in the macro region as a whole, better adapted to comparability to the issues at stake and to broader societal challenges. An upgraded picture of the gender-based differences/inequalities as well as the discrimination of certain target groups in relation to active ageing and LLL is a crucial priority for this endeavor; • The improvement of policies, systems, methods and practices in the field of promotion of active ageing and a target group adapted and innovative LLL: the activities will be further defined and fine-tuned in the preparation phase, in close cooperation with the project partners and associates. The objectives, methods and outcomes/deliveries as well as the organizational structure and assignments for the transnational partners and associated partners/experts are presented in the proposal; • By developing and using the specific tools and mechanisms for the project work – the Flagships, Learning platforms and the TWGs – the project SWL will also contribute to awareness rising and skills development of the community of project/ESF actors and stakeholders in the BSR in relation to the EU funds and the macro regional strategies, as well as to improve the overarching EUSBSR implementation structures. Structures and tools The SWL project will use and develop the format of a EUSBSR Flagship which includes Learning platforms linked to the Flagship and the Policy Area Education and Employment in the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. TWGs will be established with cross sectorial and multilevel experts and stakeholders, assigned to i.a. researching, mapping, assessing, validating and developing good practic (Swedish)
