The Centre for Ageing Better, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) are partners in a project to increase the numbers of people aged between 50 and State Pension age (SPa) in work.
We commissioned Humanly (an award-winning design studio specialising in human-centred design for social impact) to develop more effective approaches to providing employment support for over 50s as part of the project.
The team conducted activities with:
- 90 people aged over 50 with lived experience of being involuntarily out of work
- Service providers, voluntary and community sector organisations, commissioners and employers
- Experts in labour markets, economics, procurement and coaching for people aged over 50
