Global aging population and labor resources, economic crisis, an increase in life expectancy, coaching, learning, professional and vocational skills, workability of the olderly workers of manageable labor for elderly have all made the problem of increasing the retirement age rather urgent. The contradiction lies in the fact that skeptics focus on average human lifespan, while optimists concentrate on one’s life expectancy after retirement, as well as the positive influence of social environment and employment on quality of life of the older workers. It is important that, depending on the country, pension boundary is either considered as an age that gives right to start receiving pension payments, or entitles the elderly person to continue to be employed.

The Human Health Passport was developed by the Institute of Gerontology of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine with the purpose of screening population’s health, working capacity, and functional age of the person and employee, and identifying the preventive measures needed to maintain the health and efficiency of the population. 

Thank you for joining and making a great contribution to improving remote screening methods and assessing your health.

We have found that after 30 years of age, the pace of decline of physical and mental capacity ranges from 0.5 to 2% per year. Reduction of integral indicators of occupational disability is nonlinear at 0.05-0.4% per year. Based on collected data we have developed the physiological and ergo-metric model of professional performance during the person’s employed life. It is shown that vocational training and retraining are the factors of occupational rehabilitation and reintegration of the older workers. As an external factor gerontechnology enhances performance and functionality of the elderly.

The study showed that increasing the retirement age would require prior preparation - from providing legal, social, medical, and informational aspects to implementation of gerontechnological principles at the workplace, as well as observing the physiologically correct schedules of work and rest of the elderly.
