| Annotation | There is growing evidence of the need to extend working lives in the UK, given increasing life expectancy. In a relatively short time, public policy has shifted from encouraging older workers to retire earlier, to encouraging them to work beyond retirement age. This report presents research from the renEWL research consortium on extending working lives beyond the age of 50. It is arranged in three thematic chapters: economy, working conditions and occupational group; health; and caring responsibilities and family structure. Each chapter covers the policy context; summarises the research published by renEWL; and looks at how the results interlink, and the implications of findings for public policy. The report finds that inequality is prominent throughout many areas of the extending working lives agenda; and for this to be a success, policies must not only focus on employment, but also provide the interventions and support before late adulthood to make that possible.
