Though this book may help individuals think about how they will cope with the economics of retirement, it's intended less as a self-help financial-planning manual than as a broad view of the nation's evolving private and public policies on retirement, pension, and health. Covers issues such as poverty among the elderly (particularly women), "life-long learning" and training for older workers, pension privatization, disability insurance, and generational conflicts. This latest edition (written over two decades after the original) reflects the author's (Brandeis U.) opinion that the recent push for "privatization" of pensions "is likely to lead to social insecurity, not social security."
