In Older Worker Employment"},"content":{"rendered":"<div><\/div>\n<p>Recent statistics have shown that there has been a huge rise in the number of people aged over 50 becoming employed.\u00a0 The fastest rate of increase is with those people aged 65 (older women in particular) with almost one million people in that age bracket in the working population.\u00a0 The rise in \u201coldies\u201d employment accounts for 20% of the increase.\u00a0 However the growth in employment of the older worker is not the detriment of younger workers.\u00a0 Currently 30 % of older workers work in managerial and professional jobs with only 14 % in sales, care and leisure jobs; this is in complete contrast to younger people where 34% work in that sector and only 9% in managerial and professional jobs. \u00a0\u00a0Older people provide effective role models to the young who can gain from their valuable knowledge.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>There may be several reasons why older people are working longer.\u00a0 In some cases employers want to retain their valuable skills and experience sometimes offering flexible working patterns.\u00a0 For some older workers their pension may be inadequate, they fear the rising cost of living or they feel fit and healthy and willing to remain the workplace.\u00a0 There is also a growing group of self-employed who want to remain connected to the business world. \u00a0\u00a0Being employed means older workers have better standards of living which they would lose if they gave up employment.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In 2011 the default retirement age was abolished, therefore, people can work longer and not be compulsorily retired.\u00a0 An employer can only force someone to retire with objective justification.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>At the moment men can take their state pension from the age of 65, for women it may vary between 60 and 65.\u00a0 However with the rising cost of pensions and life expectancy the government is planning to raise the age of retirement to 66 in 2020 for both men and women and to 67 in 2026.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><a
