Beskrivning
As a result of growing life expectancy, the period of retirement is likely to surpass the entire period of working life in many countries. There is little acknowledgement that retirement is not an event but an extended period of life that unfolds over several decades. Experiences vary considerably across the globe, from areas where most people cannot afford to retire to places where a multitude of new possibilities are being developed for retirees. This book is an anthropological approach to consider life beyond retirement in a wide range of contexts and consequences.

Recensioner i media

“This is a unique contribution to the anthropology of work, adulthood and later life, bringing ethnographic insight to local understandings of retirement in ways that provide a ground for cross-national comparison.” • Jason Danely, Oxford Brookes University“There are five countries represented for context,…the volume is value-added in that each chapter is an autonomous article with a comprehensive list of references.” · Choice Highly recommended.
