| Annotation | The need to extend working life is being increasingly emphasised in policy debates in the developed economies. Recent years have seen the emergence of new policies on work and retirement aimed at closing off "early exit" pathways, and promoting the employment of older workers. This article summarises recent developments in selected countries, concluding that the effectiveness of policy-making to date is difficult to gauge; that, as yet, it lacks the necessary sophistication; and that, as a consequence, it may not provide appropriate pathways for older workers or employers.
