Adams Gary A. - Aging and Work in the 21st Century

Aging and Work in the 21st Century, Second Edition reviews, summarizes, and integrates existing literature from various disciplines with regard to aging and work, but with a focus on recent advances in the field. Chapter authors, all leading experts within their respective areas, provide recommendations for future research, practice, and/or public policy. Fully revised and updated, the second edition takes up many of the same critical topics addressed in the first edition, and incorporates 18 new authors across the volume and three brand new chapters on recruitment and retention, legal issues, and global issues in work and aging.

The intended audience is advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in the disciplines of industrial and organizational psychology, developmental psychology, gerontology, sociology, economics, and social work. Older worker advocate organizations, such as AARP, will also take an interest in this edited book.
