OverviewMore people are extending their working lives through necessity or choice in the context of increasingly precarious labour markets and neoliberalism. This book goes beyond the aggregated statistics to explore the lived experiences of older people attempting to make job transitions. Drawing on the voices of older workers in a diverse range of European countries, leading scholars explore job redeployment and job mobility, temporary employment, unemployment, employment beyond pension age and transitions into retirement. This book makes a major contribution and will be essential reading within a range of disciplines, including social gerontology, management, sociology and social policy.

Retirement and Responsibilisation: Current Narratives about the End of Working Life ~ David Lain, Sarah Vickerstaff and Mariska van der HorstReviewsThis rich and timely edited collection provides an exceptional account of the diversity and plurality of older workers and their employment and retirement transitions in the contemporary policy landscape. Such valuable insights make it essential reading for any scholar or student with an interest in older workers, from social gerontology right through to age and employment studies. Kathleen Riach, University of Glasgow The first book in a new series on older workers met my already high expectations for David Lain and colleagues. Qualitive research from six nations critically interrogates the neoliberal, choice-theoretic, framework about the international 'Working Longer Consensus.' It shows that shame, age discrimination, and industrial relocation far outweigh explanations for the poor outcomes of older workers than older workers' 'bad choices'.
