Abstract
Explores the issue of retirement and the rise in proportion of population who are still active after ceasing full‐time employment – in their “third age”. Outlines the present environment which shows that this growth presents significant economic and social problems. Suggests different strategies to combat these and make more use of third age people. Concludes that it is hoped that the European Commission will play a part in overcoming national barriers to change in this field.
