Recenzii
The book is organized into four parts: an evaluation of who works, an assessment of employee-employer fit, an examination of employment in the context of family and workplace, and a contemplation of politics and future policy. The book's scope is broad, covering retirement, retirement policy, health policy, and a good bit of labor economics. The data and statistics presented are up-to-date, and the essayists make useful international comparisons. The chapters in the book are well-written and scholarly in nature and will make valuable references for scholars and policy makers, but they are not too technical for undergraduate students.
Overtime is a daunting picture of the current strongly negative relationship between work and age. The book concludes with policy recommendations both for companies and countries working to adapt to ageing societies.
Americans work longer and have the shortest retirements among rich nations. How long can we postpone raising pensions by falsely hoping Americans can work even longer? Drs. Truesdale and Berkman bring together experts with an answer in this well-researched book.
Berkman and Truesdale brilliantly reframe an essential policy question: Should we promote working longer? Convening experts across the social sciences, this volume illuminates growing inequalities and pushes us to consider the current realities for younger workers in assessing this question. Overtime provides an innovative, compelling, and critical perspective on modern work.
As global aging advances, efforts by countries to preserve social insurance funds by delaying retirement age are challenged by increasing disability in less privileged workers. This authoritative and timely volume de-mythologizes work and retirement for older persons and provides evidence-based strategies for better jobs and financial security later in life. A must read for policy makers and employers.
