From the blog: The number of people over the age of 65 in employment has increased by nearly 100,000 since the beginning of 2014, but this may not be a signal of an ageing workforce.
Figures released by the Office for National Statistics this week showed 1,206,000 people aged over 65 were in employment between March and May this year, up from 1,130,000 in the same period in 2015 and 1,117,000 in 2014.
Despite this, over-65s made up only 1.9 per cent of the workforce, a marginal increase in representation from 1.8 per cent in 2014.
