- Abstract
- For several years, public policies have been oriented towards extending working life, in particular to protect welfare states. However, end-of-career experiences are marked by multiple inequalities where ageing processes, gender relations and social inequalities are intertwined. While, on the one hand, national and international bodies insist on the need to increase the employment rate of older workers, on the other hand, workers continue to be discriminated on the labor market and want to leave their job prematurely. The reasons for this are many and varied, but they reflect both a desire to enjoy life and a tightening of working conditions that lead to stress, fatigue and health problems. Future research on end-of-career issues should focus on two important points that are still too often neglected in current studies: developing a life course paradigm to the end of career and understanding inequalities in an intersectional approach.
