OSLO - Karin Johansen, a 68-year-old insurance adviser, didn't want to retire. Her employer, Norwegian insurance company Gjensidige, said she must, and the Norwegian Supreme Court agreed. Her case is one of a growing number across Europe involving older workers challenging forced retirement . "The European situation is so complex" regarding forced retirement, says Anne Lyne, an employment attorney at Hayes Solicitors in Dublin.
