50plus perspective
Perspective 50plus - Employment Pacts for Older People in the Regions is a program of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs , which aims to improve the professional opportunities of older people and to reintegrate them into the labor market . The target group is long-term unemployed women and men between 50 and 64 years of age. The federal program is used regionally and comprises 77 employment pacts, each of which specializes in the potential of the regions .
history
The federal program was launched in September 2005 by the German government of the 16th legislative period , the Merkel I cabinet . The Federal Minister responsible for Labor and Social Affairs was Franz Müntefering from the SPD . Those in the coalition agreement “ Together for Germany. With courage and humanity ”, the gradual increase in the retirement age from 65 to 67 years was the starting point for the development of the federal program“ Perspective 50plus ”.
The federal program was developed under the aegis of Federal Chancellor Schröder by the then Federal Minister of Economics and Labor, Wolfgang Clement , and tendered as part of a competition with all job centers (at the time ARGEs, communal providers and basic social security agencies in separate sponsorship). 58 of the submitted concepts were each “awarded” 5 million euros and were able to implement their concept from November 2005 until the end of 2007.
Program Code
In order to make the qualitative requirements of the federal program transparent and accessible to everyone, the program philosophy was laid down in a code . "The code reflects the self-image of the actors involved in the program , their form of cooperation and their relationship with the project participants."
Principles of the work of the regional employment pacts
1. We understand companies and offer companies reliable services.
2. We promote and challenge older long-term unemployed people as “carers” in their strengths and talents through motivation, activation and qualification, taking into account their individual starting position.
3. We see ourselves as partners and work together in a respectful and trusting manner.
4. We design and use networks based on partnership, binding and effective.
5. We consolidate regionally developed concepts that are adapted to local needs and improve innovative approaches by exchanging experiences with other regions.

Campaign year 2009
In order to be able to respond more specifically to the needs of the long-term unemployed and potential employers, the campaign year was started in 2009. The main topics are: health, mobility and skills. Through the targeted promotion of these topics, complications in the job search should be counteracted in advance.
Focus on health In cooperation with partners from the health sector, such as pension insurance companies, health insurance companies, doctors, pharmacists and nutrition associations, programs of the federal states for health promotion and regional sports associations, the federal program has created a network through which the long-term unemployed can focus on the upcoming, both physically and mentally Be able to prepare for steps on the job market. The different regional models for promoting health for the long-term unemployed work on a voluntary basis. The costs are borne by the federal program.
Main topic competencies The combined promotion of technical and social competencies is the focus here. “ The promotion of professional potential increases the self-esteem of each individual and thus ultimately contributes to the development of social skills. “To this end, the federal program cooperates with partners from politics and business as well as with trade unions and welfare associations.
Focus on mobility In order to be able to guarantee travel to potential jobs, the focus on mobility specifically addresses the travel needs of the long-term unemployed.

criticism
“Perspective 50plus” is accused by those affected and politicians that the success is “sobering”. The answer to a parliamentary question from the Greens results in a placement rate of around 30 percent. According to the opposition parties, this shows "the discrepancy between Sunday speeches and actual employers' hiring practices" in dealing with older unemployed people, while the government sees this quota as a success.
