An ageing workforce is a concern in many countries, combined with age discrimination and early retirement. This can lead to a sustainability gap between contributors to and recipients of pension schemes, which is a concern of national finances.

It will explain why the Icelanders work longest, how Singapore in a short time extended work careers with two years and looks at the perspectives for work life in 2015.
