- Abstract
This article focuses on precarity as it relates to the right to work and the right to retire. The evolution of corporate control over the labor market has contributed to workers' loss of opportunity and economic security. As individual and structural labor market disadvantage grows with age, the aforesaid losses are borne disproportionately by marginalized populations, including older adults. Social insurance is the bedrock to protect people's working and retirement years, but such programs, especially in America, must be expanded and made financially secure.
