Interfaith Advocacy - The Role of Religious Coalitions in the Political Process

In der Renten- und Arbeitsmarktpolitik hat ein Paradigmenwechsel eingesetzt, der auf eine langere Erwerbstatigkeit zielt. Dieser Band beschreibt die Entwicklung der Alterserwerbstatigkeit in den letzten 10 Jahren und analysiert die Bedingungen für den Zeitpunkt des Erwerbsaustritts von alteren Erwerbstatigen. In die Untersuchung wird ein breites Spektrum von Einflussfaktoren einbezogen, das von den institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen über individuelle Entscheidungen im Hauhaltskontext, den Arbeitsbedingungen und betrieblicher Personalstrategien bis hin zur Arbeitsmarktpolitik reicht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die soziale Sicherung im Ruhestand starker als bisher auf einer langen Erwerbsphase beruhen wird.
