| Annotation | WHERL is a 3-year interdisciplinary consortium on wellbeing, health, retirement and the lifecourse, which has brought together academics from King's College London, University College London (UCL), the University of Manchester and the University of Toronto, as well as stakeholders from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Age UK. This final report of the project brings together cross-cutting factors from the research, and uses charts and graphs to illustrate points. It draws out the implications for policy and inequalities, starting with the labour market experiences from young adulthood to the mid-fifties, and how these affect the likelihood that individuals remain in employment up to and beyond State Pension Age (SPA). Possible tensions between paid and unpaid activities of older adults, including paid work, volunteering, informal care, civic engagement and looking after the home are considered from a life-course perspective. Also examined are physical and mental health and their effects on work in later life; and pension accumulation and gender, particularly how women can be left more vulnerable to having an inadequate income in retirement. WHORL has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council ((ESRC) and Medical Research Council (MRC) cross-research Lifelong Health and Wellbeing (LHW) programme under the Extending Working Lives call (ES/LS002825/1).
