| Annotation | Changes in age of retirement rules form an essential part of a larger set of policy reforms that are intended to discourage early retirement and encourage longer working lives. These reforms are at various stages of consideration and implementation in most of the wealthier ageing societies. Although pension rules on the age of eligibility for benefits are by no means the sole - or even the main - determinant of the timing of retirement, they are clearly important factors in structuring the framework of incentives for continuing attachment to the labour force. This paper looks at how these rules are changing in different parts of the world, and at some of the tensions that exist between different policy objectives that guide (or should guide) their reform.
