| Abstract
|
:
|
Considers the changing status of older workers, the evolution of public policy on age and work and the behaviour of employers. This book challenges the stance of many governments and observers concerning policies to extend working lives. It is suitable for academics and researchers interested in work, ageing and public policy and labour economics.
