| Annotation | Some of the increasing number of people leaving work before state pension age may benefit from more flexible jobs that bridge the gap between permanent full-time work and retirement. Stephen Lissenburgh and Deborah Smeaton of the Policy Studies Institute (PSI) have studied the role of "bridge jobs" in the lives of people leaving work between 50 and state retirement age. Using data largely from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), their research examined the characteristics and experiences of those leaving permanent jobs, factors associated with moving to temporary, part-time or self-employment, and the qualities of these alternative forms of work. Their full report, "Employment transitions of older workers: the role of flexible employment in maintaining labour market participation and promoting job quality" is published for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) by the Policy Press, as part of the Transitions after 50 series. (KJ/RH). |
