| Annotation | This report draws together the findings of 12 individual Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) research projects from the Transitions after 50 research programme, published in association with the Policy Press. It reviews evidence from a range of older workers' transitions: their experiences at work and their reasons for leaving, and what they do outside paid work. It explores the extent to which people are able to plan the changes that suit them best, or are constrained by circumstances beyond their control. Six key challenges for government and for society are suggested: improve choice and control for the "have nots" in later working life; fit jobs to older workers as well as older workers to jobs; create a new balance of priorities between working, living, health and well-being; make financial choices after 50 more transparent; improve opportunities to build retirement income for those people other than males in stable careers; and develop new modes of paid and unpaid work accessible in later life.
