AnnotationIn the United States (US), older populations exhibit the highest level of economic inequality of all age groups. This book examines the structural and individual bases of inequality and ageing in the US, focusing on the employment system, public and private insurance systems, gender inequality, retirement and pensions. The future of the age-structured life course is considered, and proposals such as extending the working lives and introducing individualised retirement savings accounts are examined. (AKM).
