  "account": "A new study explores the challenges facing employers and workers aged 50 and over in the Ukrainian job market. The research, part of the Silver Economy initiative, reveals significant barriers to employment for both sides. Employers cite concerns over skills, productivity and potential health issues as key reasons for hesitating to hire older workers. Meanwhile, older Ukrainians express a desire to remain in the workforce longer, but cite lack of flexible working arrangements and reduced pay as deterrents. The study aims to identify solutions to bridge the disconnect between the needs of employers and the aspirations of older workers, in order to tap the potential of the 50+ generation and support a more inclusive economy.",
