This provocative book considers the changing status of older
workers, the evolution of public policy on age and work and the
behaviour of employers. It attempts to answer the critical
question: in an ageing society, can older workers look forward to
the prospect of longer working lives with choice and security and
make successful transitions to retirement? Ageing Labour Forces
challenges the current stance of many governments and observers
concerning policies to extend working lives. It utilises
perspectives and case studies from public policy, employment policy
and the attitudes and behaviour of older people. Philip Taylor
argues that older workers have been at the forefront of
industrialized society's efforts to respond to the crisis facing
social welfare systems and the economic threats associated with
population ageing. Their involvement has forced the restructuring
of economies, adjustments to social welfare systems as well as
redefinitions to the actual concept of old age. Containing
contributions from leading researchers in a number of countries,
this work will appeal to academics and researchers interested in
work, ageing and public policy as well as labour economics.
