Birken E: The 5 Years Before You Retire,
3rd Edition

The 5 Years Before You Retire, 3rd Edition

Retirement Planning When You Need It the Most

Global population aging is transforming how societies think about longevity, health, work, and financial security. As people live longer, responsibility for retirement is increasingly shifting to individuals and households, and the risks and rewards of longer lives are being reshaped in profound ways. 

The Future of Healthy Aging and Successful Retirement explores what these changes mean for healthy aging and successful retirement in the decades ahead. Surya Kolluri, Olivia S. Mitchell, and Nikolai Roussanov bring together leading experts from economics, public policy, and health sciences to examine how health, wealth, and work interact over the life-course. Contributors address a wide range of issues, including changing mortality patterns and healthspan, cognitive aging and financial decision-making, retirement income and pension design, healthcare and long-term care costs, caregiving, and the evolving role of older workers in a technology-driven economy. Across countries and institutional settings, the book highlights how individuals, employers, and policymakers shape outcomes at older ages. It also draws attention to widening inequalities in later life, particularly as lower- and middle-income households face growing uncertainty in preparing for retirement.

By combining new evidence with forward-looking perspectives, this volume offers a clear and accessible framework for understanding the challenges and opportunities of aging societies--and for promoting longer, healthier, and more secure retirements.
