Description

Nations that are raising retirement ages appear to work on the assumption that there is appropriate employment available for people who are expected to retire later. Gender, Ageing and Extended Working Life challenges both this narrative, and the gender-neutral way the expectation for extending working lives is presented in most policy-making circles. International contributors apply life-course approaches to understanding evolving definitions of work and retirement. They consider the range of transitions from paid work to retirement that are potentially different for women and men in different family circumstances and occupational locations, and offer solutions governments should consider to enable them to evaluate existing policies.
