Time for Retirement Comparative Studies of Early Exit from the Labor Force

In all Western countries, people are retiring earlier than ever before and living longer, thus prolonging the length of retirement. Time for Retirement addresses the 'aging of society' and the restructuring of the life course in terms of the changing relationship between work and reitrement. Detailed information based on the retirement policies of seven countries provides the basis for a comparative analysis aimed at assessing the range of possible political responses to these changes. The editors and contributors are among the leading social scientists in the field of life-course studies, aging, and social policy.Kohli, Martin is the author of 'Time for Retirement Comparative Studies of Early Exit from the Labor Force', published 1992 under ISBN 9780521400534 and ISBN 0521400538.
