On September 25, 2025, Aist\u0117 Le\u0161\u010dinskait\u0117, a junior researcher at the Law Institute of the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences, participated in one of the largest international conferences dedicated to discussing various forms of discrimination. The event, held in Horsens, Denmark, was organized for the fourth time by the Centre for the Experimental-Philosophical Study of Discrimination (CEPDISC) at Aarhus University.<\/p>

In the session \u201cDiscrimination and Legal Issues,\u201d A. Le\u0161\u010dinskait\u0117 presented a paper titled \u201cThe Extension of Older Women\u2019s Employment: Legal Framework, Guarantees, and Intentions.\u201d<\/p>

During her presentation, she introduced the research topics explored within the ongoing project \u201c(Not)prolonging the working life of older women: legal environment, guarantees and intentions<\/a>\u201d (VAM), focusing on the prolongation of older women\u2019s employment. Le\u0161\u010dinskait\u0117 emphasized that as societies age, countries need policies that promote active participation of older individuals in the labor market. So far, older women face legal and practical challenges that hinder the continuation of their employment. These difficulties are mostly driven by age discrimination, gender inequality, and the lack of effective legal protection measures to safeguard their workplace rights. Older employees\u2014particularly women\u2014often experience psychological violence in the workplace, which negatively affects their well-being and employment sustainability. However, many older women do not report these problems due to distrust in employers\u2019 willingness to act, as well as fear of retaliation, including job loss or deterioration of working conditions. Although the Labour Code of Lithuania obliges employers to ensure a safe and healthy work environment, and international legal standards\u2014such as EU directives and International Labour Organization conventions\u2014provide a framework for the protection of older workers, there often remains a gap between legal provisions and their practical implementation.<\/p>

A.\u00a0Le\u0161\u010dinskait\u0117 pabr\u0117\u017e\u0117, kad sen\u0117jant visuomenei \u0161alims reikia politikos, skatinan\u010dios aktyv\u0173 vyresni\u0173 asmen\u0173 dalyvavim\u0105 darbo rinkoje. Kol kas vyresnio am\u017eiaus moterys susiduria su teisiniais ir praktiniais i\u0161\u0161\u016bkiais, trukdan\u010diais t\u0119sti j\u0173 u\u017eimtum\u0105. \u0160iuos sunkumus da\u017eniausiai nulemia diskriminacija d\u0117l am\u017eiaus, ly\u010di\u0173 nelygyb\u0117 ir veiksming\u0173 teisini\u0173 apsaugos priemoni\u0173, skirt\u0173 j\u0173 teis\u0117ms darbo vietoje apginti, stoka. Vyresnio am\u017eiaus darbuotojai, ypa\u010d moterys, da\u017enai patiria psichologin\u012f smurt\u0105 darbo vietoje, kuris neigiamai veikia j\u0173 gerov\u0119 ir u\u017eimtumo tvarum\u0105. Vis d\u0117lto daugelis vyresni\u0173 moter\u0173 apie \u0161ias problemas neprane\u0161a d\u0117l netik\u0117jimo darbdavi\u0173 noru imtis veiksm\u0173, bijodamos galimo ker\u0161to, \u012fskaitant darbo praradim\u0105 ar darbo s\u0105lyg\u0173 pablog\u0117jim\u0105. Ir nors Lietuvos darbo kodeksas \u012fpareigoja darbdavius u\u017etikrinti saugi\u0105 ir sveik\u0105 darbo aplink\u0105, o tarptautiniai teisiniai standartai, tokie kaip Europos S\u0105jungos direktyvos ir Tarptautin\u0117s darbo organizacijos konvencijos, numato vyresnio am\u017eiaus darbuotoj\u0173 apsaugos sistem\u0105, nepaisant \u0161i\u0173 teisini\u0173 reikalavim\u0173, da\u017enai egzistuoja atotr\u016bkis tarp teis\u0117s norm\u0173 ir j\u0173 praktinio \u012fgyvendinimo. Anot A.\u00a0Le\u0161\u010dinskait\u0117s, reikalingos teisin\u0117s, socialin\u0117s ir organizacin\u0117s permainos, kad b\u016bt\u0173 u\u017etikrinta vyresni\u0173 moter\u0173 apsauga nuo diskriminacijos ir smurto darbo vietoje ir jos gal\u0117t\u0173 toliau saugiai, oriai ir tvariai prisid\u0117ti prie darbo rinkos. \u00a0 Projekt\u0105 VAM finansuoja Lietuvos mokslo taryba (LMTLT), sutarties Nr.\u00a0S-MIP-24-29.
