Abstract
The contributions in this issue serve as a timely reminder of the importance of choice and autonomy in later working life. As the UK embarks on legislation prohibiting age discrimination, this paper discusses international lessons which can be drawn from older worker experience and related policy in Japan, Australia and the United States. By exploring the integral role of social and cultural norms in the development of pension, retirement and anti-discrimination reform, it emphasizes the importance of taking a holistic approach to older worker opportunity which ensures that practice reflects the intentions behind policy.
