Ageing Labour Forces

Edited by Philip Taylor

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This provocative book considers the changing status of older workers, the evolution of public policy on age and work and the behaviour of employers. It attempts to answer the critical question: in an ageing society, can older workers look forward to the prospect of longer working lives with choice and security and make successful transitions to retirement?
