{"product_id":"avoiding-retirement-in-chile-1","title":"Avoiding Retirement in Chile","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawing on life-course, gender, and welfare regime theories and relying on primary longitudinal qualitative data (life- story interviews with 90 older workers) and primary longitudinal quantitative data (life-course calendar surveys among 802 older individuals), \u003ci\u003eAvoiding Retirement in Chile\u003c\/i\u003e critically examines the generalizability of traditional age norms involving the transition to retirement within a persistently uncertain and precarious setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrounded in systematic empirical evidence, this study allows us to reflect on the fact that a definitive and permanent exit from any form of economic activity is increasingly viewed as a fictional scenario by most older individuals. This arises not only from highly precarious social conditions but also from a complex process involving individual agency, wherein the status of being 'retired' is progressively less voluntarily anticipated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs such, it is of significant interest to a broad spectrum of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as scholars across various disciplines, including social sciences, economics, humanities, gerontology, public health, and social epidemiology. Additionally, the book targets policymakers and decision-makers engaged in topics such as aging, the labor market, pension systems, social and health inequality, and life-course determinants of disparities in old age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57427810550104,"sku":"9781032777726","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/avoiding-retirement-in-chile-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
