Firms managed their workforce reduction by increasing  the attractiveness of their pension plans-especially their  \u003cem\u003eearly\u003c\/em\u003e-retirement plans. In this volume, the authors examine the  U.S. auto industry and present a full-scale analysis of the work and  retirement decisions of its workers. They address organizational  context and the logic of financial incentives in employer-provided  early retirement plans. The impact of pension provisions, layoffs,  plant closures, attitudes about `generational equity', and other  factors influencing the workers' evaluation of the optimum time to end  their careers in the auto industry are explored.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780306453366\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b102408\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: cm xcm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 274\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312090108044,"sku":"9780306453366","price":89.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780306453366.jpg?v=1771518118","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780306453366","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
