In all Western countries, people are leaving work earlier than ever
before - at a time when their life expectancy keeps increasing. How
has this paradoxical process been brought about? What is the impact
of labour markets and social policy? And what will be the effect of
this massive lengthening of retirement? Time for Retirement
addresses the 'aging of society' and the restructuring of the life
course in terms of the changing relationship between work and
reitrement. Detailed information based on the retirement policies
of seven countries provides the basis for a comparative analysis
aimed at assessing the range of possible political responses to
these changes. The editors and contributors are among the leading
social scientists in the field of life-course studies, aging, and
social policy.
In all Western countries, people are retiring earlier than ever before, and people are living longer, thus prolonging the length of retirement. What are the effects of this phenomenon on society in general and on the labor force, and what are the psychological effects on retirees? Time for Retirement addresses the "aging of society" and the restructuring of the life course in terms of the changing relationship between work and retirement. Practically, it assesses the range of possible political answers to this process, with a comparative analysis of different national regimes.
