The economically active population in Europe

The volume examines two different aspects of the economically active population in Europe. In the first part, older workers in the labour market and retirement policies throughout Europe are analysed. The second part focuses on the reconciliation of working life and family life, an issue which is heavily gender-oriented as it is closely tied to the balance between paid employment and unpaid work taking care of the family. The authors are Rossella Palomba and Irena E. Kotowska.
