| Annotation | It is now well accepted that as we are living longer, many of us will have to work longer, too. However, rather than force people to "work till they drop", we need to improve opportunities. This means helping people pursue satisfactory careers, structured in ways that make work sustainable as they grow older. Following its research programme on "Transitions after Fifty", the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) has produced a framework to aid discussion of how changes in policy and practice can contribute to sustaining working lives. The framework identifies the need for improvement in three main areas: personal career development, guidance and learning; flexible working time and work-life balance; and workers' health and the quality of working lives. This paper summarises the framework, which is set out on the Foundation's website along with a set of five discussion papers. (KJ/RH)). |
