Abstract: One of the most pressing issues on the political agenda at all national and international levels is the challenge to design the most efficient tool package to address the demographic ageing phenomenon, the approach that would minimize or avoid threats and turn the opportunities associated to best advantage. Among the directions of action, encouraging, supporting and promoting active ageing is a core strategic objective. This paper looks into the aspects related to the propensity among the elderly to stay active on the labour market after retirement and, based on qualitative as well as quantitative analyses, and depicts some important determinants and their relative influence on the behaviour and attitude of the older generations towards employment. It also highlights main policies and actions that may be taken in order to increase the participation rate.
