National trends suggest that men of 50 and above are increasingly exiting
the labour market at an earlier stage than previous generations. At the same
time workers are being told that they will have to work longer because of
demographic factors and pension requirements. This major ESF funded research
project examines the experience of older male workers in the contemporary
English labour market. We will be looking a both ‘blue’ and ‘white’
collar workers from the London and Nottingham areas in work as well as the
unemployed. In addition the project will explore the responses and strategies
adopted by a range of institutions and government agencies in tackling this
question.
