Our research found that some people work longer to protect their financial security in later life. This roundtable focused on three related topics.

The discussions from our roundtable covered six key areas, including how to understand the pattern of events and how these impact someone’s ability to cope.

In this briefing we explore what retired people miss about work, why people work for longer and why people retire when they do.

We looked into what the topic 'I am in work' means. Participants shared their views on the value of flexible working, the social aspects of work, and more.

An introduction of what we mean by 'major life changes', as well as an outline of the findings from the data related to managing major life changes.
