Ageing Better has commissioned a multinational team, led by Dr Martin Hyde from Swansea University, to carry out a rapid evidence review and data analysis on the experience of the retirement transition.
Our workforce, like the population at large, is ageing. This is dramatically changing the structure of our workforce, as we have more clients, colleagues and customers in older age brackets.
‘Retired’ is not an occupation, but there it is, on the form, at the bottom of the list. Or maybe, even worse, you are expected to tick ‘None‘. But that isn’t true, is it?
One in five adults (20%) who retired in the last five years have admitted to finding it difficult, according to a UK-wide survey, carried out as part of a partnership with Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation UK Branch (CGF).
