It provides an in-depth examination of the nation's evolving private and public policies on retirement, pension, and health, including, for instance, the dramatic changes in employer-sponsored pensions. New attention is given to the retirement of baby boomers and the financial situation of older women, many of whom still live in poverty. Other topics added to this edition include the proposed new way of measuring poverty, new economic implications of demographic aging, the concept of `productive aging', an update on reverse annuity mortgages, hybrid pension plans and pension privatization, and current information on Social Security. This highly readable book is essential for everyone concerned with gerontology.A thorough, rich, and current work, this book is the most comprehensive resource available for students, policymakers, researchers, human resource directors, and in short, all who have a personal or professional interest in the essential questions facing the growing aging population in the United States. It examines changes in retirement patterns, problems of older workers, and the complexity of retirement preparation, as well as pension plan health costs and all the programs affecting financial security. 606 $aOld age pensions$zUnited States 606 $aRetirement income$zUnited States 606 $aAge$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aOld age pensions 615 0$aRetirement income 615 0$aAge$xEconomic conditions. 676 $a330.973/0929/0846 700 $aSchulz$b James H$01788536 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975094503321 996 $aThe economics of aging$94323565 997 $aUNINA
