| Annotation | Population ageing coupled with concerns about the increasing costs of social welfare have led to major shifts in policy away from early retirement as a means of reducing youth unemployment, to policies aimed at active participation of older workers in the labour force. This study focuses on the interface between paid employment and non-participation in the labour force, with five issues being explored. First, the role of "push" and pull" factors in early retirement. Second, the incentive and disincentive effects of social welfare and pension arrangements in determining early exit. Third, the role of active labour market policies in reducing early exit. Fourth, the extent of different experiences depending on occupational group, ethnicity and age group. Lastly, the role of human resource management policies in encouraging early exit and discouraging more flexible retirement. Separate reports present literature reviews on factors affecting retirement in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, the Nordic countries, United Kingdom, and the USA. (RH). |
