Ageing and employment policies: Australia = Vieillissement et politiques de l’emploi: Australia.

Description

Faced with rapid population ageing and unsustainable pension schemes, OECD countries are looking at ways to encourage labour market participation by older people.

This book is published in English only, but includes a French translation of the Executive Summary and Recommendations.  Read more...
