Rezensionen
"Challenges of Aging: Pensions, Retirement, and Generational Justice addresses challenges facing older people and challenges that may be, at least in part, created by older people. ... Challenges of Aging is a timely contribution to the aging policy literature by reason of both the strength of contributions and the volume's clear organization." (Robert B. Hudson, The Gerontologist, Vol. 57 (3), 2017)
"'Challenges of Aging', when taken as a whole, offers some rather consistent messages across the three broad topics: pensions, retirement and generational justice. ... There is just enough analysis ... to satisfy the tastes of the quantatively-inclined reader. Yet, the book also provides relevant commentary on social policy history and political institutions and processes (e.g.,Weaver's chapter on policy feedbacks). This makes the book easily accessible to a diverse but relatively general audience." (Laurel Hixon, Journal of Population Ageing, Vol. 9, 2016)
