On the Aging of Scientific Personnel in Higher Education and Research
Elstermann, Gert
International Journal of Institutional Management in Higher Education, 2, 1, 21-9, May 78
The situation of "collective aging" of the academic staff in universities and research institutes caused by the skew age distribution and the zero-growth budgets in nearly all European countries is discussed. Possible policies to palliate the negative effects are considered along with support for junior staff with temporary contracts or limited tenure. (Author/LBH)
