  • Summary

    This chapter addresses the implications of the 100-year-life for the future of work and the law of work. To begin with, longer lives will pose severe actuarial challenges to all existing strategies for ensuring retirement income security. At least without a dramatic (and probably unjustified) shift of social welfare expenditures into support of nonworking seniors, most people will probably have to work longer, if they are healthy and able, to generate enough income for retirement. The chapter then turns to how the law of work might have to change to accommodate longer working lives. Leaving aside the law of age discrimination (addressed in another chapter), longer working lives will recast longstanding debates over job security and will highlight the need to make work and work schedules less demanding, especially as workers age. This chapter will explore these challenges and how demographic changes will intersect with changing technology and its impact on the nature and number of jobs.
