Reviews
"The 11 contributions challenge widely accepted assumptions about later-life work and retirement by grounding their reflections in empirical evidence from a range of national and international sources... Overall, this book offers a welcome, evidence-based perspective on extended working lives in which the arguments are inspired by rich empirical data." Ageing and Society
"A compelling and much-needed analysis of the different challenges facing older women and men, as pressures to extend working lives intensify." David Lain, Brighton Business School
