Aging Populations, Globalization and the Labor Market: Comparing Late Working Life and Retirement in Modern Societies

摘要

As policymakers around the world have been struggling with ways to deal with both demographic aging and looming budget deficits, the choices and constraints confronting older workers contemplating retirement have been changing rapidly. This timely and important book describes changes over time in employment at older ages, the timing of retirement, and pension income and how these changes correspond with historical demographic, economic, and policy changes. What is especially valuable is that this book gives readers insight into how these dynamics are playing out around the world in countries such as Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
