As the government consultation on proposals to reform flexible working regulations ends, we look at the case for supporting older workers’ desire for better, flexible jobs.
Join Centre for Ageing Better and The Physiological Society for an online launch of our new joint report ‘A National Post Pandemic Resilience Programme: Supporting older adults to recover from the pandemic’.
In partnership with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the Department for Work and Pensions, we're working to improve the economic activity rate among people aged 50 to State Pension age.
Our new report finds that people in their 50s and 60s today face worse circumstances than the cohort before them, with 1 in 5 people in this age group likely to face multiple, long-term problems.
This report shows that prospects for people currently in their 50s and 60s have worsened considerably across many key aspects of life – such as health, work, housing and finances – when compared to people who were at the same age at the turn of the millennium.
The latest ONS labour market figures show that there are 362,000 over 50s currently unemployed and over a quarter of people aged 50-64 are classed as economically inactive.
This briefing presents the findings of recent research from the Universities of Sussex and Manchester. It looks at ethnic inequalities in health in later life in the UK.
