In Spain, approximately one million professionals aged over 50 are unemployed, according to latest data from the Spanish Office of National Statistics (2018 Q1). Because of digitalisation, changes to the economic and social paradigms as well as the effects of a lengthy and serious credit crunch, this group of workers has been increasingly disconnected from the labour market. Randstad became employment partner to the SAVIA project to help them secure work opportunities.
