Book Description
We moved to the lovely Costa Blanca North around eight years ago, and I can honestly say that we have had no regrets at all in leaving grey, cold, crowded England. Life here is as good as it gets; the weather is kind, the people lovely, the food and drink excellent, the whole lifestyle an object lesson in how life should be lived. Sounds wonderful? Take my word for it, it is! Before we moved, I thought I had done as much research as it was possible to do. I thought I had all the answers at my fingertips; and bear in mind I used to work for the British Library, so if I could not be confident that I had done my research well and thoroughly, who could? I read numerous “how to” guides, haunted the internet, made sure I kept up with all the Costa Blanca local papers on line. It was only after we had made the move, alas, that I realized that I had neglected the one, vital thing that all expats don´t understand, and it´s a real Catch-22 situation. You see, when you make the move, when you finally get over here and start settling in, you suddenly realize that whilst all that research is lovely, you still don´t have the key to living here.Why? Simply because you don´t know what the right questions are to ask! You really do have to live here to know how true this simple fact is. The manuals and the internet articles are a help, of course, but they are far less than half the story.Until you move here, you have no real idea of how differently things are done in Spain. Everything from buying to your house, to everyday living is not as is done in the UK! But you can get there, you just need to know what to ask, who to ask, and how to ask it! And the answers are here. Basically, this is a Guide to Questions I Wish I had Known About 8 years Ago, when we moved over. Together, of course, with the all important answers. I do not - not for one second! - regret making the move, but Oh! - how I wish I had had someone to tell me these secrets at the time.In any event, here it is, and I look forward to raising a glass of something nice to you when you arrive in the lovely Costa Blanca, to enjoy your well-earned retirement.Bienvenidos a Costa Blanca!

Book Description
This title focuses on the lives of a group of women from the UK who moved to the Costa Blanca in Spain in retirement. We follow their journeys as they seek 'community' and belonging in a world characterised by rapid social change. Imbued with nostalgic yearning, community is hailed as a panacea to the ills of modernity and as a representation of social continuity.

Book Description
This book is a study of nostalgia, belonging and community which provides a new theoretical framework for understanding retirement migration. It is the first account of retirement migration that focuses on the voices of retired working-class British women, who are considering either return migration to the UK or permanent/temporary settlement in Spain. Through a narrative approach, we follow their journeys as they seek, recreate and construct community in a new context and their experiences of belonging and non-belonging are unravelled. The book offers a critical perspective, challenging positivistic, essentialist definitions of community.

Book Description
In developed countries, men’s labor force participation at older ages has increased in recent years, reversing a decades-long pattern of decline. Participation rates for older women have also been rising. What explains these patterns, and the differences in them across countries? The answers to these questions are pivotal as countries face fiscal and retirement security challenges posed by longer life-spans. This eighth phase of the International Social Security project, which compares the social security and retirement experiences of twelve developed countries, documents trends in participation and employment and explores reasons for the rising participation rates of older workers. The chapters use a common template for analysis, which facilitates comparison of results across countries. Using within-country natural experiments and cross-country comparisons, the researchers study the impact of improving health and education, changes in the occupation mix, the retirement incentives of social security programs, and the emergence of women in the workplace, on labor markets. The findings suggest that social security reforms and other factors such as the movement of women into the labor force have played an important role in labor force participation trends.

Book Description
Social Security Programs and Retirement around the World represents the second stage of an ongoing research project studying the relationship between social security and labor. In the first volume, Jonathan Gruber and David A. Wise revealed enormous disincentives to continued work at older ages in developed countries. Provisions of many social security programs typically encourage retirement by reducing pay for work, inducing older employees to leave the labor force early and magnifying the financial burden caused by an aging population. At a certain age there is simply no financial benefit to continuing to work. In this volume, the authors turn to a country-by-country analysis of retirement behavior based on micro-data. The result of research compiled by teams in twelve countries, the volume shows an almost uniform correlation between levels of social security incentives and retirement behavior in each country. The estimates also show that the effect is strikingly uniform in countries with very different cultural histories, labor market institutions, and other social characteristics.
