Measures that Govern Rights to Alternative Work Arrangements
A table concerning statutory employee rights to adjust contractual working hours. Focusing mainly on EU and English-speaking countries, the table includes four basic categories:
- general statutory rights;
- rights linked to parenthood or family caregiving status;
- rights linked to gradual retirement;
- rights linked to leave for individual training and educational purposes.
We are pleased to announce a special collaboration with Janet Gornick, Director of the Luxembourg Income Study, a cross-national data archive located in Luxembourg, and Ariane Hegewisch, Resident Scholar at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. In May 2008, we will begin to post the Policy Summaries they have completed in conjunction with their policy report Statutory Routes to

The Global Initiatives at the Boston College Center on Aging & Work was established in 2008 in partnership with  Middlesex University in London to focus on quality of employment cross nationally – an issue important to employers, employees, policy makers and researchers.
The Institute collaborates with academics and employers to examine the relationships between shifts in the age composition of the workforce, globalization, employer-sponsored policies and programs, public policies, and the employment experiences of the 21st century multi-generational workforce.
Savvy employers strive to become employers-of-choice to recruit, engage, and retain top talent in today’s 24/7 global information economy. However, there is limited information available to business leaders that can help them update their policies and practices to reflect the needs of the 21st century multi-generational workforce working in different countries. |
