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.

New study reveals stark ethnic health inequalities across the population, with differences in health among different groups particularly pronounced in later life.

Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for the development of poor health in later life and active travel is one way to improve levels of physical activity.
