| Annotation | This Millennium paper is the final report from the Future Work and Lifestyles Study Group, and builds on the earlier interim report by Richard Worsley. It is one of five papers which look at issues confronting an ageing society, to inform a nationwide debate on the subject - for younger and older people alike. It looks at trends in employment at the end of the 1990s, on respect of changes in employment patterns, industrial change, and changes in occupational structure. It uses data from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) to consider emerging issues and questions for debate: unemployment and disadvantage; inequalities between occupational groups; the future supply and distribution of paid work; demographic change; education and training; domestic work and childcare; alternatives to paid work; caring; and retirement. It concludes that those with the best employment will have the best "life chances" through better access to education, healthcare, housing and pensions. A growing polarisation is also being reinforced by continued pressure to hold down public spending, thereby limiting both the expansion of public goods and infrastructure, and of welfare benefits for those in need.
