This insightful study provides an overview of the changing
employment context in industrialized nations, the risks associated
with population ageing and how these are being tackled.Prolonging
working lives is high on the agenda of policy makers in most of the
world's major industrialized nations. This book explains how they
are keen to tackle issues associated with the ageing of
populations, namely the funding of pension systems and predictions
concerning a dwindling labour supply. Yet the recent history of
older workers has primarily been one of premature exit from the
labour force in the form of redundancy or early retirement. Add to
this a previously plentiful supply of younger labor and it is clear
that much of industry will be unprepared for the challenges of
ageing workforces. Older Workers in an Ageing Society includes
up-to-date knowledge on issues of workforce ageing and provides
useful commentary on policy responses and will appeal to scholars
and public policy-makers. Contributors: D.M. Atwater, E. Besen, E.
