Reviews"This book is a stepping stone to more study and research on the topic of retirement. Many of the books on this subject for practitioners like me are typically how-to books with minimal insight into the scholarly research that has gone into what is being offered. As a practitioner that appreciates a "scholar-practitioner" model, I found this handbook to be very helpful, especially about areas with which I am less familiar or in areas in which I might want toaugment my knowledge." -- Doody's, "This book is a stepping stone to more study and research on the topic of retirement.

The approach is interdisciplinary, spanning human resource management, organizational psychology, development psychology, gerontology, sociology, public health, and economics.
