Ilda Durri started a new role as researcher in EU social policies at the European Social Observatory (OSE). Ilda holds a PhD in labour law from the KU Leuven University, together with two master’s in law from the University of Amsterdam (LL.M.) and the University of Tirana (MSc). She has held positions, such as legal consultant for the International Labour Organization, postdoctoral and doctoral researcher, EU project manager, and legal assistant.
In spite of the current strong emphasis in all European countries on means to tackle youth unemployment, the participation of older individuals in the labour market remains a significant policy challenge. The OSE and the Fondazione Brodoloni (IT) are involved in a European Commission-funded project on ‘Policies for an Aged Workforce in the EU’. The goal of the research is to analyse the situation of the ageing population in the EU, notably regarding their employability and workability patterns, as well as the reforms undertaken in social protection systems and labour market policies.
