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.
Reviews & endorsements
"The trend to early retirement is a puzzle for social science and a problem for policy. It is also a natural for the kind of broad comparative analysis that this fascinating book exemplifies. It is full of striking facts and interesting ideas, each needing the other." Robert M. Solow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
See more reviews"The wealth of new information this brilliantly composed collaborative study offers may even be surpassed by the amount of explanatory and normative problems it invites the reader to think through. A major achievement in the sociology of social change and social policy." Claus Offe, Center for Social Policy Research, University of Bremen
"Time for Retirement...provides much useful information about a variety of national retirement plans and the ways in which these plans have altered retirement decisions." Industrial and Labor Relations Review
