Description
Rahul Malhotra and Abhijit Visaria introduce a symposium on how many years of work older adults have left. The measure, working life expectancy, counts the years a person at a given age can expect to spend working. It varies with law, custom, and the economy, which makes it a sharp lens on productive aging. Four talks report it from national studies in Asia and the Americas.
Japan's team projects the measure to 2050 and shows how policy could stretch it. Mexico's finds a wide gap between men and women. Chile's, where women must retire earlier, finds the gap follows job status instead. Singapore's sees the sex gap persist while the education gap flips over time. The editors draw out the shared lesson: the same age means very different working futures depending on where and who you are.
