| Annotation | London has a large population of over 50s who contribute directly to the city's prosperity, with many others who would like to do so. This report focuses on labour market issues facing Londoners aged 50+ and the employment situation for older workers two years after the introduction of age discrimination legislation. The report is in two sections, the first of which 'Older Londoners - looking for work' identifies how many (108000) and profiles their characteristics, based on research by the consultancy Inclusion. The second section, 'Older Londoners - in the workplace', is based on a survey of 65 employers from local authorities and the voluntary and private sectors. It suggests that age champions could be instrumental in encouraging age diversity in employment. Many of London's older workers and jobseekers face difficult situations, and this report makes recommendations for supporting older Londoners into employment and promoting age diversity in London's workplaces. The commissioned research o which this report is based is available on the Age Concern London website (www.aclondon.org.uk). (RH). |
