Описание: Understanding Retirement Planning provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the real-world applications of retirement planning, as well as an exploration of the opportunities and challenges they will likely face in their career as a retirement planner. As students progress through the five modules within the anthology, they move from learning the basics of retirement planning to develop knowledge and skills centered around holistic retirement planning. They learn the importance of including the emotional, psychological, and financial needs of clients into their planning and how that consideration makes them more effective. Students also examine social programs and explore solutions that can reduce the potential economic impacts of government policy changes aimed at social programs. Readers are challenged to explore common unconscious biases, cultural expectations, and discriminations to better understand how these factors affect financial and retirement planning. The collection also discusses the retirement-planning challenges faced by all clients, including clients that are generally considered underserved, including older/aging workers, women, and LGBTQ individuals and couples. A comprehensive and enlightening collection, Understanding Retirement Planning is well suited for courses in financial planning.

Описание: In the United Kingdom, retirement programs are being reconstructed to follow the American practice of abolishing mandatory retirement and increasing state pension ages. This timely book compares prospects for work and retirement at age sixty five-plus in both the United States and the United Kingdom. After exploring the shifting logic behind both nations policies policies that increase both the need and opportunities to work past age sixty five David Lain presents an original comparative statistical analysis on the wide range of factors influencing employment at this age, from the ability to move between jobs in order to remain employed to changing employment trends. He then proposes a series of policies to address these factors across the life-course and promote security and autonomy for older people. Pathways to employment after sixty five are complex, and pressures to work at this age are likely to result in very unequal outcomes. This book will play a vital role in creating a more positive, more equitable future for late careers and retirement."
For most sociologists, their life's work does not end with retirement. Many professors and practitioners continue to teach, publish, or explore related activities after leaving academia. They also connect with others in the field to lessen the isolation they sometimes feel outside the ivory tower or an applied work setting.
The editors and twenty contributors to the essential anthology Journeys in Sociology use a life-course perspective to address the role of sociology in their lives. The power of their personal experiences-during the Great Depression, World War II, or the student protests and social movements in the 1960s and '70s-magnify how and why social change prompted these men and women to study sociology. Moreover, all of the contributors include a discussion of their activities in retirement.
From Bob Perrucci, Tuck Green, and Wendell Bell, who write about issues of class, to Debra Kaufman and Elinore Lurie, who explain how gender played a role in their careers, the diverse entries in Journeys in Sociology provide a fascinating look at both the influence of their lives on the discipline and the discipline on these sociologists' lives.

Описание: First published in 1992, this title conducts an in-depth examination of the investment behaviour of pension funds, presenting the first econometric model in this area. Using the well-established framework of modern portfolio theory, David Blake derives a model of optimal portfolio behaviour that explains pension fund asset holdings in terms of the most important macroeconomic and cyclical indicators. He shows how factors such as industry profitability, the balance of payments and the monetary and fiscal policies of the government influence pension fund investments. Broad in scope, this reissue will be of particular value to students and academics with an interest in econometrics, investment analysis and the pension fund industry.
