Description
First published in 1982, this book examines the concept of retirement and its implications for individuals and society. Dr Parker, a sociologist, explores the history of retirement, different types of retirement, and the challenges faced by those preparing for or experiencing retirement.
The author considers various policy alternatives for addressing the problems raised in the book, including the capacity of older people to work and the question of whether retirement is experienced as leisure. This study provides a critical examination of what was known about retirement at the time, offering possible alternative answers to the issues involved.
