The analysis considers a range of explanatory factors, but the findings suggest that the primary driver of this development has been the expansion of pension entitlements and rights among the elderly population.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kolbeinn Stef\u00e1nsson<\/strong> completed his DPhil in Sociology at the University of Oxford in 2013 and is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Iceland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kolbeinn H.
