How do we get over-50s back into work?
The government wants hundreds of thousands of over 50s to return the workforce as Britain mounts an economic recovery. More than half million people in that age bracket have left work since 2019. Will the promise of a 'midlife MOT' encourage people to come back to work? And do employers want them?
Joining David Aaronovitch in The Briefing Room are:
Torsten Bell, Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation
Mike Crowhurst, Director at Public First
Tony Wilson, Director Institute for Employment Studies
Bee Boileau, a research economist in the retirement, saving and ageing sector at the Institute for Fiscal Studies,
James Kirkup, Director of the Social Market Foundation
Producers: Kirsteen Knight, Daniel Gordon and Ben Carter
Production Coordinators: Siobhan Reed and Sophie Hill
Sound mix: Neil Churchill
Editor: Richard Vadon
