Description
Retirement is being 'reconstructed', with the UK following the US path of abolishing mandatory retirement and increasing state pension ages. This timely book assesses prospects for work and retirement at age 65-plus in the UK and USA. Part One explores the shifting 'policy logics' in both countries that increase both the need and opportunities to work past age 65. Part Two presents an original comparative statistical analysis on the wide range of factors influencing employment at this age. Part Three proposes a series of policies across the life-course that would promote security and autonomy for older people. Pathways to employment after 65 are complex and pressures to work at this age are likely to result in very unequal outcomes. This book is essential reading for researchers, students and practitioners interested in late careers and the future of retirement.
