Abstract
The promotion of extended working life has created a period of uncertainty between the ending of work and the beginning of retirement. This period of the life course is now ‘open-ended’ in respect of whether older workers decide to remain in employment or leave working.

The study reviews the organisation of ‘work-ending’, the construction of age within organisations, and the influences on provision of support in late working life.
The article concludes with a discussion on the range of pressures that might limit control over pathways through middle and late working careers.
