In Austria, older workers in manufacturing, financial, transport, and communication sectors had lower productivity than younger colleagues.
“For instance, in Austria, the productivity level of aging workers in the manufacturing, financial, transport, and communication sectors was lower than that of their younger colleagues (Mahlberg et al., 2013).”
From Policy Initiatives to Address the Challenges of an Older Population in the Workforce (2023) · cites this paper as Mahlberg et al., 2013
The Conclusions (page unavailable) report clearly negative age-productivity coefficients for manufacturing and financial intermediation, but do not identify transport and communication as having the same sector-wide pattern. The Results (page unavailable) show that transport’s coefficient varies by region, including positive values. The study measures firm-level productivity against workforce age shares, rather than directly comparing individual older and younger colleagues. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
