Aging, Work, and Retirement

By Elizabeth F Fideler and Elizabeth F. Fideler research fellow at the Sloan Center on Aging & Work Boston College

Aging, Work, and Retirement presents the reasons older men and women are staying in the workforce as long as they are able to do so--information of immediate value to undergraduate and graduate students across the fields of sociology, gerontology, industrial/organizational psychology, and business management as well as to corporate leaders, human resources managers, professional organizations and policy makers. The text reflects a growing interest in and concern regarding aspects of aging, ageism, labor market challenges, workplace issues, plus gender and racial/ethnic similarities and differences in employment history and extended worklife opportunities, as they affect older workers in this country and abroad. Each chapter has cases and profiles and other strong pedagogical features allowing students to integrate the content with real world examples.
