Foreword Rapid population ageing, the growth ofdigital technologies including artificial intelligence, and the greentransition are likely to lead to a substantial reallocation of jobs across firms, sectors and regions. Thesetrends raise potentially important challenges for workers who may be at riskof losing their job, but alsopresent new opportunities for career progression, better wages, and better-quality jobs. With longerlifespans, many workers may also rethink their career ambitions, including seeking new roles beforeretirement afteryears inthe same job or switching to more flexible jobs that support skill development whileaccommodating health and caregiving needs later in their careers. Creating supportive frameworks thatenableworkers to navigate this transition effectively is crucial to harness the benefits of thesetransformative changesand to address the associated challenges. However, many mid-to-late career workers still face substantial difficulties when seeking career or jobchanges. In Austria, as in other OECDcountries, job mobility declines substantiallyamongmid-careerworkers. Obstacles to mobility in the mid-career include lack of job search information and skills, limitedaccess to training opportunities, and health issues. Eliminating these barriers and supporting mid-to-latecareer workers who need or want to change job or career is essential for supporting longer working livesand a more inclusive labour force. This report on Austria builds on the OECD’s cross-country report Promoting Better Career Choices forLonger Working Lives published inMarch2024and is the second in a seriesof reports looking into thechallenges, policies and practices in selected OECDcountries. Other countries covered include theUnitedKingdom, Belgium, Czechia and theUnitedStates. The report highlights job mobility trends inAustria as workers age, identifies barriers to the labour market progression of mid-to-late career workersand develops policy recommendations to ensure that experienced workers can continue to contributemeaningfully to the economy while also enhancing their own job satisfaction and career fulfilment.
