“…For example, cultural norms are important in determining an "adequate" retirement age (in this context we can speak about the culture of age, cf. Guillemard, Rein 1993). This type of embeddedness also clearly reveals differences in the content of age stereotypes among employers from different countries (e.g.…”

RETIREMENT AS AN EFFECT OF EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONSEmployers are the key actors in defining conditions for retirement, as well as the conditions for retaining employees; their role, however, is still not well recognised and expressed in theoretical frameworks. In order to better understand individual retirement and to design successful ageing policies we should consider the behaviour and attitudes of employers. The article presents the organisational perspective on retirement and contributes to a theoretical consideration of the role of employers and work environments in the retirement process. It discusses the classic economic approaches, including the deferred payment model, and in referring to sociology of economy and management sciences it presents the employer's perspective in relations with older workers. The main goal of the article is to consider the retirement process as an effect of employer-employee relations.

“…Hochschild, 1975;Carter and Cook, 1995;Achenbaum and Bengtson, 1994;Curtis and Ennis, 1998). Inherent to the concept of role exit and related theories such as the theory is the process of transition (Drahota and Eitzen, 1998;Guillemard and Rein, 1993) or the passing from adulthood to pensioner. In the case of the World Firefighters Games 2008 (WFG'08), transition occurred in the form of the individual moving from WFG'08 volunteer to ex-WFG'08 volunteer.…”

“…Guillemard and Rein (1993), Carter and Cook (1995) and Ebaugh (1998) each explain continuity of friendships and acquaintances as key factors when adjusting to role exit or change.. From these accounts, maintaining contact with other ex-volunteers is perceived as a form coping, and have used different measures.…”

“…Yet, research in these disciplines has also been crucial in developing richer accounts of retirement behavior, both on the micro level of decision-making and on the macro level of institutional context. On the micro level, one of the most crucial contributions has been to direct attention to the role of 'push factors' such as health problems or job loss in the process of retirement (see, e.g., Guillemard and Rein 1993;Shultz et al 1998;Szinovacz and Davey 2005;Radl 2007Radl , 2012a, as already noted in the discussion voluntary vs. involuntary retirement at the end of Chapter 2.…”

Late-career Risks in Changing Welfare States

For quite some time, a key finding and theoretical puzzle in comparative welfare state research was welfare states' remarkable stability. In the last decade, however, it has become clear that advanced welfare states were (far) less immovable than they seemed at first. In fact, speaking of changing welfare states captures much better the actual reforms that were taking place. This series is about the trajectories of those changes. Have there been path-breaking welfare innovations or are the changes incremental instead? Are welfare states moving in a similar or even convergent direction, or are they embarking on divergent trajectories of change? What new policies have been added, by which kind of political actors, how, and with what consequences for competitiveness, employment, income equality and poverty, gender relations, human capital formation, or fiscal sustainability? What is the role of the European Union in shaping national welfare state reform?This series answers these and related questions by studying the socioeconomic, institutional and political conditions for welfare state change, its governance, and its outcomes across a diverse set of policy areas. The policy areas can address traditional "old" social risks like old age, unemployment, sickness (including the health care system), disability and poverty and inequality in general, or "new" social risks that have arisen mainly due to post-industrialization, such as reconciling work and family life, non-standard employment, and low and inadequate skills. In addition to focusing on the welfare state more narrowly defined, the series also welcomes publication on related areas, such as the housing market. The overriding objective of the series is tracing and explaining the full trajectories of contemporary welfare state change and its outcomes. Editors of the series
