More than one in five people aged 50 to State Pension age are NETER (Not in Employment, Training, Education or Retirement). That's 2.9 million people. But what sits behind the headline figures?
Join us on Monday 30 November, 14:30 - 15:30 for our webinar, 'Out of work, not retired: Understanding NETER', as we introduce the NETER measure and launch Ageing Better’s new NETER data dashboard.
In this webinar, you’ll:
- Understand what NETER means, why the measure matters and what it tells us about a group that can be overlooked in traditional labour market debates
- Explore our new NETER data dashboard and find out how you can use it in your own work
- Hear what the data tells us about who NETERs are, why people are out of work and how the picture varies across the country.
- Hear from experts working on some of the issues behind the data, including health and caring, and explore what the findings mean for policy and practice
You'll hear from:
- Andrea Barry, Deputy Director for Work, Centre for Ageing Better (Chair)
- Ryan Heasman, Economics and Research Analyst, Centre for Ageing Better
- Phil Mawhinney, Policy Manager, Age UK
- Patricia Stapleton, Senior Policy Manager, Arthritis UK
- Andrew Russell, Head of Social Impact, Carers Trust
The webinar is for anyone interested in employment and economic inactivity among people in their 50s and 60s, particularly policymakers, researchers, local and regional government, employment and skills organisations, and organisations working on health, disability and caring.
You'll come away with new evidence, a new way of understanding this group and a practical data tool you can use in your own work.
