Summary/Abstract: This chapter focuses on the extent to which improvements in human resource (HR) management policies can play a role in extending working lives.10 HR policies – such as workplace and age management practices – can be valuable tools to discourage older workers from retiring early, and tomotivate and incentivise those close to retirement age to stay in work longer (D’Addio et al., 2010; Thorsen et al., 2012).
