ABSTRACT

Implications for career policy leap vividly from previous chapters. The authors from all the countries implicitly make the case for career information, advice and guidance, and related education and training that address the successive life-stage and gender-specific circumstances of women from the perspective of those aged 45/50 and above. The life course perspective offers a privileged view of the policy options. The aim of the present chapter is to make the policy implications explicit, and to set these implications within the broader employment and economic contexts.
