Highlights
Labour force participation rates showed a trend in the late twentieth century towards earlier retirement
As the baby boom enters old age over the period of time from 2011 to 2031, this situation will be exacerbated unless trends towards early retirement are reversed
While the trend in the late twentieth century was towards early retirement, the preference of policymakers in the early twenty-first century is the implementation of policies and programs that encourage ageing workers to stay in the labour force longer
Summary
As for the older workers, over the twentieth century the trend in many countries was toward facilitating an earlier and earlier exit of older workers from the labour force, through the implementation of retirement policies and programs.
