Macroeconomic Aspects of Aging and Retirement of College and University Teachers

Overview

This book explores the universal and highly topical issues of ageing and retirement. It places a particular focus on the macroeconomic aspects of the ageing and retirement of college and university teachers, through a case study of teachers and professors in France and India.

Key Issues

While the ageing of the population and the financing of the pension system are notoriously pressing issues in Western nations such as France, it has previously not been acknowledged that these issues are also critical to the development trajectory of emerging countries such as India.

Importance of Pensions

The book also highlights the importance of pensions for welfare, well-being, and stability in all categories of workers, including workers in the informal sector and private companies devoid of pension schemes, where jobs are largely irregular and temporary in nature.

Intended Audience

It will be of great interest to researchers in the fields of comparative education, sociology, and economics.
