About this title

Synopsis

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.

From the Back Cover

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. Detailed information 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.
