'Scratch obligation to seek older unemployed '

tilburg - The obligation to seek work for young unemployed must disappear. Before that advocates labor sociologist Jan Cremers from the University of Tilburg. 'Take away the frustration of having to constantly have to apply again to no avail by people to be give the option no longer available,' said Cremers.

Unemployed older people are difficult to bake, partly because they are more expensive than younger people. Arrangements for employers to make hiring attractive elderly do not seem to work.

Cremers says in Trouw that elderly people who came to sit should be eased IOW during the crisis out of work, a scheme for unemployed people over sixty who are no longer entitled to unemployment benefits. Then they receive 70 percent of the minimum wage.
