Two issues make this volume of special interest: the growing proportion of the population considered to be 'elderly, ' and the increasing financial cost of providing the elderly entitlements such as Medicare and Scial Security....The collection of 19 papers by many of the major players in the field constitutes a compendium of what is currently know about the labor market decisions of the elderly....The emphasis given to the productive role of the elderly in the labor market is both refreshing and enlightening, particularly since the discussion is so often framed in the context of their dependency on others in society...Reommended for all libraries. -Choice ?Two issues make this volume of special interest: the growing proportion of the population considered to be 'elderly, ' and the increasing financial cost of providing the elderly entitlements such as Medicare and Scial Security....The collection of 19 papers by many of the major players in the field constitutes a compendium of what is currently know about the labor market decisions of the elderly....The emphasis given to the productive role of the elderly in the labor market is both refreshing and enlightening, particularly since the discussion is so often framed in the context of their dependency on others in society...Reommended for all libraries.?-Choice
