| Annotation | Women over 50 today are healthier and can expect to live longer lives. Older women need to work and want to work, but they also often have caring responsibilities for partners, ageing parents and grandchildren. This report examines issues relevant to older women in the workplace: access to and seeking employment; income discrimination; age discrimination; job quality and security; and self-employment. It also considers issues around working in rural areas, ethnicity, and balancing work and care. The report is based on a review of existing literature and new statistical analysis undertaken specifically for SCOW, as well as drawing on two years of consultations, roundtable meetings and conferences throughout Scotland. The report makes recommendations for Government, employers and trade unions. (RH). |
