Summary/Abstract: Withdrawal from the labour market has been shaped by the same changes as general life courses – due to the emergence of pension it was subjected to chronologization, institutionalisation, and standardization. The two most recent decades are a time when changes can be observed in the attitudes to old-age retirement and pension (pre-)requirements. Governments of the most developed countries have decided to introduce incentives to motivate people to stay in the labour market longer. These incentives are becoming more and more individualized and adjusted to meet individual needs. This paper describes how the introduced instruments affect a destandarization of withdrawal from the labour market and its normative models.
