ABSTRACT
This chapter identifies a number of EES policy aims and research domains for which the transitional labour markets approach is particularly relevant. As Rogowski also shows, the transitional labour market (TLM) approach has much in common with the European Social Model (ESM) and the European Employment Strategy (EES) in terms of both ultimate goals and more concrete concerns and policy recommendations. The chapter presents a survey of the main policy-relevant research results of the TLM.NET research community, particularly from the point of view of the contributions they make towards achieving those shared aims. The chapter presents the findings roughly following those aims or themes as identified by Rogowski. It deals with issues having to do with reconciling family and work in the context of the rising labour force participation of women of child-bearing age. The chapter examines the ageing working population and retirement options and behaviour.
