Retirement is being `reconstructed', with the UK following the US
path of abolishing mandatory retirement and increasing state
pension ages. This timely book assesses prospects for work and
retirement at age 65-plus in the UK and US. It is essential reading
for researchers, students and practitioners interested in the late
careers and the future of retirement.
What risks and insecurities do older people face in a time of both
increased longevity and widening inequality? This edited collection
develops an exciting new approach to understanding the changing
cultural, economic and social circumstances facing different groups
of older people. Exploring a range of topics, the chapters provide
a critical review of the concept of precarity, highlighting the
experiences of ageing that occur within the context of societal
changes tied to declining social protection. Drawing together
insights from leading voices across a range of disciplines, the
book underscores the pressing need to address inequality across the
life course and into later life.
More people are extending their working lives through necessity or
choice in the context of increasingly precarious labour markets and
neoliberalism. This book goes beyond the aggregated statistics to
explore the lived experiences of older people attempting to make
job transitions. Drawing on the voices of older workers in a
diverse range of European countries, leading scholars explore job
redeployment and job mobility, temporary employment, unemployment,
employment beyond pension age and transitions into retirement. This
book makes a major contribution and will be essential reading
within a range of disciplines, including social gerontology,
management, sociology and social policy.
