Gender, Ageing and Extended Working Life: Cross-National Perspectives

Abstract
This book provides a critical discussion of extended working life theory and policy from an international perspective. It discusses policy, practice and employment and pensions patterns in seven countries, Australia, Ireland, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States from gender and life course perspectives. Raising retirement ages appear to work on the assumption that there is appropriate employment available for people who are expected to retire later. This book challenges this assumption, along with the gender-neutral way the expectation for extending working lives is presented in most policy-making circles. Part of the Ageing in a Global Context series, the international contributors apply life course approaches to understanding evolving definitions of work and retirement. They consider the range of transitions from paid work to retirement that are potentially different for women and men in different family circumstances and occupational locations, and offer policy solutions governments should consider to enable them to evaluate existing policies.
