| Annotation | The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has worked with the Age Endeavour Fellowship to produce reports such as this on the effects of work on ageing (http://www.ageendeavour.org.uk/research). This report asks why older people have low labour market participation, even with increased life expectancy. It considers the impact of disability and unemployment benefits on employment at older ages. It asks whether employment protection and anti-discrimination laws are useful or harmful; and whether there are negative side effects of raising employment at older ages. It concludes that reversing the steep decline in employment rates among older people since the mid 20th century is not going to be easy. However, the opinion is expressed that "less government involvement through state pension schemes, disability insurance and employment regulation increases the ability of individuals to determine their own work and retirement patterns."
