AnnotationThis Parliamentary briefing provides the information that was given to inform the House of Lords debate about current age discrimination in relation to older workers in the UK. Key facts were outlined about the unemployment of older workers (aged 50+). A call was made for the scrapping of the National Default Retirement Age (NDRA), as the default age of 65 is proving to exacerbate the problem. More tailored measures by Jobcentre Plus to help older workers are recommended. (KJ).
