This book is about health and longevity in changing conditions among the people of the island prefecture of Okinawa. This 47th, south-western-most prefecture of Japan, is known as a region with a rapid increase in longevity after World War II. The number of people who have reached the age of 100 years, centenarians, is internationally high, and low rates of mortality in, for example, heart and cerebrovascular diseases, have been characteristic of the island prefecture. This is the longevity face of Okinawa, which in 1995 led to the proclamation of Okinawa as a World Longevity Region. Since then, however, changes in the longevity face have have taken place because statisitics have revealed that the health among men is in danger. The longevity face has at least for men been sorely wounded. The changed health of especially men in middle age is of the greatest concern in health and social policy.

La France a été le premier pays en Europe, et probablement au monde, à connaître, dès le début du XXe siècle, les signes d'un vieillissement démographique qui, confondus avec les signes d'une décrépitude liée à la vieillesse, lui apparurent d'abord comme une menace. Au long d'une période charnière, de la loi de 1905 instituant l'assistance obligatoire aux " vieillards indigents " jusqu'au Rapport Laroque dessinant les contours du " troisième âge ", cet ouvrage cherche à démêler les réalités et les représentations, à repérer les pesanteurs ou les évolutions qui ont façonné durablement nos mentalités et nos comportements. Stigmatisés par le discours démographique et mis à distance par le corps médical, les gens âgés ne peuvent s'émanciper de stéréotypes souvent péjoratifs, alors même qu'ils sont entraînés, du fait des deux guerres mondiales, de l'inflation et de la généralisation du salariat, vers des formes de socialisation nouvelles. Des couches de plus en plus larges de la population vieillissante relèvent d'un traitement collectif, où charité, bienfaisance, assistance et assurance s'entrecroisent sans toujours s'exclure. La notion de retraite, encore rejetée en 1910 par des Français rétifs au salariat permanent, fédère au milieu du siècle un groupe d'âge, capable de faire entendre ses revendications et de réaménager positivement la fin de son cycle de vie. Jamais le sens et l'expérience de la vieillesse n'ont changé aussi vite et aussi profondément. Ces métamorphoses travaillent l'ensemble des parcours de vie et amènent les Français à redéfinir leurs stratégies à tous les âges et dans tous les domaines : famille, patrimoine, emploi, formation, santé, loisirs ou culture. La vieillesse apparaît alors non seulement comme une construction sociale mais aussi comme un facteur décisif du changement social. A la lumière de son histoire, serait-il possible en France de penser enfin la vieillesse en terme de dynamique sociale plutôt qu'en terme de déclin ?

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.
