 Policy Makers - Employment

"Longer, fitter lives mean that we need to make it easier for people to remain in employment and extend their working lives. Around 1 million people choose to work beyond State Pension Age already. They gain and so does the productive economy.

As the population ages, so does our workforce. The number of people aged under 50 is projected to fall by 2 per cent by 2016, while numbers in the 50 to 69 age group is projected to increase by 17 per cent.

Helping unemployed and inactive people over 50 into jobs is a key priority for government investment."
