The next government has an opportunity to address the challenges and seize the opportunities of an ageing population, to ensure everyone enjoys a good later life.

A report published by the Centre for Ageing Better and the Resolution Foundation which identifies characteristics and incomes of low to middle income households age 50 to state pension age.

We brought together people across the health, care and housing sectors to develop joint solutions to enable people to live independently for longer and alleviate pressure on the NHS and social care.

This paper sets out the research methodology used to identify evidence which was reviewed and summarised on what older workers value about work.

This evidence briefing identifies the characteristics of work that are important to people aged 50 and over, and explores actions employers can take to attract and retain them.

Key ideas and insights of practitioners who attended our workshop on employment are detailed, including possible interventions for individual personas.

The aims were to explore how people can be supported to contribute to their communities; and to identify where better evidence could support action.

Evidence has shown that those in later life who make voluntary contributions report an increase in wellbeing, self-esteem and social connections.
