Extract

Attitudes and adjustment to lifespan transitions such as retirement remained fairly stable and predictable in Portugal and the rest of Europe until the 1980s. After this time, transformations in the labour market, economy and social and welfare policies, began to take place. At the present time, in Portugal, as in all European countries, the number of retired people continues to rise, transforming the lives of both individuals and societies.
