Despite its curability by a simple and low-cost surgical procedure, cataract

Working Beyond age 65 in IrelandJournal of Population Ageing - Tập 12 - Trang 299-326 - 2019
Anne Nolan, Alan Barrett
Extending working lives is often proposed as one route through which the costs
associated with population ageing can be managed. In that context, understanding
who currently works for longer can help policymakers to design policies to
facilitate longer working. In particular, it is important to know if longer
working is a choice or a necessity, where necessity arises from a lack of
pension income.... hiện toàn bộ
What Is Known about the Factors Motivating Short-Term International Retirement Migration? A Scoping ReviewJournal of Population Ageing - Tập 12 - Trang 379-395 - 2018

It is known that older persons from many countries often enjoy living abroad for
weeks or months of the year, often to avoid periods of harsh weather at home.
However, there has been little attempt to synthesize existing knowledge of this
practice, often called retirement migration. Scoping reviews are a widely
accepted form of research synthesis. In this article we present the findings of
a scopi... hiện toàn bộ
