Early Retirement Incentives with Upper Age Limits under the Older Workers Benefits Protection Act.

Swan, Peter N.

Journal of College and University Law, v19 n2 p53-72 Fall 1992

Economic underpinnings of retirement incentives and case law leading to the Older Workers Benefits Protection Act (1986) are reviewed; implications for early retirement incentives for college faculty are considered. It is concluded that congressional intent is not to foreclose such incentives and that the Age Discrimination in Employment Act supports them. (MSE)
