Anne-Marie Guillemard has been involved in many funded European projects like the European Network of Excellence “Civil Society and New Forms of Governance in Europe” (CINEFOGO), and the European research consortium ASPA “Activating Senior Potential in Ageing Europe” (7thFP). She has been sitting till recently on many editorial boards including Ageing and Society, Hallym International Journal of Aging (Baywood Publishing Company). Her work on cross-national comparisons of welfare policies, pension systems and prolonging working life is widely recognized. Her main research areas are sociology of the life course, sociology of ageing and welfare states reforms. Her research focuses on questions related to age and employment, public and entrepreneurial age management policies, the generational contract and reforms of the welfare states. She is currently working on longevity and its worldwide multidimensional impacts on developed and developing societies. She recently edited a collective book about this question (2017). The chapter she wrote for this book, titled The longevity revolution: Rethinking social meaning of age, social time and intergenerational solidarity appeared (2019) in a Japanese translation from French in an academic Japanese Journal. One of her main book contributing to the understanding, in a cross-national perspective (including Europe, USA and Japan), of how societies could adjust to population ageing (Armand Colin 2010) has just been translated from French to Japanese and published (2019) by Minerva, Kyoto.
