Abstract:
America is at a crossroads in its approach to work and retirement. Many policymakers think it's logical - almost inevitable - that Americans will delay retirement and spend more years in the paid labour force. But it's an assumption that doesn't match the reality faced by a large and growing proportion of Americans. Though in many ways today's middle-aged adults are less financially prepared for retirement than today's retirees, precarious working conditions, family caregiving responsibilities, poor health, and age discrimination will make it difficult or impossible for many to work longer. This book offers a current, revelatory corrective to our understanding of the future of the American workforce and aging.
