The government has launched an action plan called ‘Fuller Working Lives – a framework for action.’ It aims not only to help employers make the most of older workers’ potential for their organisations, businesses and the economy but also to reduce the burden of dependency upon the government for pensions.
‘Fuller Working Lives – a framework for action’ makes clear that the main focus is not on those that want to continue working after the state pension entitlement age of 68 after 2020. Rather it is on those leaving the labour market in an involuntarily manner in their 50s and early 60s. The framework, therefore, covers primarily the following affected groups: those providing voluntary care for their dependents, disabled people and those with health conditions, and people who are made redundant.
