Drawing on the voices of older workers in a diverse range of European countries, leading scholars explore job redeployment and job mobility, temporary employment, unemployment, employment beyond pension age and transitions into retirement.This book makes a major contribution and will be essential reading within a range of disciplines, including social gerontology, management, sociology and social policy.
