| Annotation | Age Concern England (ACE) has submitted written evidence to the House of Commons' Work and Pensions Select Committee inquiry on the Government's employment strategy. In this full version of its response to the Select Committee, ACE outlines its own policy recommendations for extending working life, including: welfare to work; benefit reform; lifelong learning; age equality; flexible working; financial incentives for extending working life; women, carers, and people from minority ethnic groups; and the State Pension Age (SPA). ACE's more detailed comments to the Select Committee concern the Government's "80% target" (of the working-age population in work); barriers facing older workers; the effectiveness of employment programmes; regional variations in employment of people aged 50+; and private and public sector delivery of welfare to work services (relating to the Pathways to Work provision); and job sustainability. (RH). |
