In 2019, the Center for Aging Better predicted that by 2025 there will be one million more people aged 50 and over, and 300,000 fewer people aged 30 and under, in the workplace, with one in three of the working age population aged 50 and over.
But as we creep towards to halfway point of 2025, was this prediction correct?
Lyndsey Simpson, founder of 55/Redefined, certainly thinks so. In fact, she says we've exceeded those levels.
In this week's episode, we discuss the UK's ageing population and its affect on the workplace. Simpson argues that many employees who reach retirement age don't feel ready to stop working - but modern workplaces still impose a mid-60s retirement age. Through her work at 55/Redefined, she has seen an influx of people over the retirement age return to the workplace - and believes business leaders who are quick to dismiss older workers are missing out on critical return on experience.
