Women Working Longer: Increased Employment at Older Ages

In 'Women Working Longer', editors Claudia Goldin and Lawrence F.

Katz assemble new research that presents fresh insights on the phenomenon of working longer.

Their findings suggest that education and work experience earlier in life are connected to women's later-in-life work.

Other contributors to the volume investigate additional factors that may play a role in late-life labour supply, such as marital disruption, household finances, and access to retirement benefits.

A pioneering study of recent trends in older women's labour force participation, this collection offers insights valuable to a wide array of social scientists, employers, and policy makers.
