| Annotation | This is a general review of issues and prospects for social policy on age and employment, which attempts to give context to the other papers in this section of this issue of Social Policy Review. It draws on research commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), published in 2005 as "Extending working life: a review of the research literature", by Chris Phillipson and Allison Smith (DWP research paper, no 299). In looking at changes in the employment of older workers, the author notes that the policy of extending working life has been significant in the debate about the economic sustainability of an ageing population. He uses evidence from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing ELSA) to ask whether employment rates for older workers will continue to increase, and what prevents people returning to work. He suggests areas for research in developing policies to extend working life. (RH). |
