With the lifespan developmental perspective as an organizing theoretical framework, global issues in work, aging, and retirement are considered from four conceptual standpoints: (a) demography and workforce aging; (b) workforce health and worker well-being in the face of global population aging; (c) worker mobility in a global context; and (d) overarching cultural and institutional issues. A summary of the state-of-the-science is provided in each of these four key areas. Relevant directions for future research and implications for practitioners are discussed.EconomicsBook Chapterhttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85134909850&doi=10.4324%2f9781315167602-14&partnerID=40&md5=59ebc9c1c4af9c4d890100478dc4796b5351
