| 51. | Heike Simone Schröder, Masa Higo, Matt Flynn, Workplace Accommodation for Older Teachers in Japan and Germany: The Role of the Institutional Context in Supporting Late Career Options for Teachers with Ill-Health, The 3rd “Equal Is Not Enough" Conference:, 2015.02, [URL], Due to population ageing, Japan and Germany have to extend individuals´ working lives. However, disability increases with old-age. Workplace accommodation is a means to enable disabled individuals to remain productively employed. Drawing on qualitative interview data, this paper explores how School Authorities in these countries use workplace accommodation to support ill teachers, a white-collar profession strongly affected by (mental) ill-health. It furthermore explores how such measures influence older teachers´ career expectations and outcomes. It finds that even though the institutional contexts are similar, career options and expectations vary, though with similar (negative) outcomes for national strategies to extend working lives.. |
