"Paid Work Beyond Pension Age - Comparative Perspectives is an important book for all those who are interested in social policy, employment and labour law, old age and ageing and social inequalities. It is not designed for members of the academic community alone, but it reaches a wider circle of readers where it resonates with the search for many answers that come from actual questions about paid work beyond pensionable age." (Filip Bojic, European Journal of Social Security, Vol. 20 (4), December, 2018)"The authors in Paid Work Beyond Pension Age: Comparative Perspectives make a significant contribution to these ongoing discussions by examining antecedence, context, and outcomes of labor market activity among older adults in England, Germany, United States, Italy, Sweden, Russia, and China. . I highly recommend this book." (Ernest Gonzales, Gerontologist, Vol. 56 (3), June, 2016)"One of the first books to examine this emerging phenomenon. It outlines the extent and characteristics of work after retirement and it ties the empirical evidence in with established theories.. . I found the book an interesting read which presents new insights. . Readers who are familiar with current arguments in ageing research may therefore, want to read the case studies only, whereas readers who are new to this topic would benefit from reading the entire volume."
