Today, the government has announced plans to maintain the State Pension triple lock until 2030 before introducing a new system for how the State Pension increases each year. Any replacement must provide robust protection for pensioners who rely on the State Pension to make ends meet.

Quote says: The question should not be which generation deserves support. It should be how we build a system that protects people from poverty now while giving future generations confidence that they too will have a decent standard
of living in retirement.

2.9 million people aged 50 to state pension age are NETERs – people aged between 50 and state pension currently not in employment, training, education or retirement. And a growing number of organisations believe they should be more visible in our labour market statistics.

There is an overlooked unemployment crisis for people in their 50s and 60s. Through a major new campaign, we want to put this right.

"Our new research found that a sizeable minority of people in their 60s are likely without health, income, pensions or savings that they need. So the result is that they face exclusion from the labour market, so they have to engage with the welfare system, often for the first time."

Later in the year we will be exploring the challenges people in their 60s face around their wider finances and planning and save for later life. Through this series we will shine a light on the precarity many face in their 60s and the changes needed ensure more people can enjoy a secure later life

Our research challenges the perception that people in their 60s are generally financially secure and approaching retirement from a stable position. Read the first two reports in this series here: ageing-better.org.uk/resources/ta...

A Tale of Two 60s

Our ‘A Tale of Two 60s’ research shines a light on how life has changed for people aged 60-69 over the past two decades and how a large minority are living precariously in their later life.

This group lack the protections to weather sudden life shocks (job loss, relationship breakdown, health issues) when they inevitably occur. Further to this they are facing multiple barriers to accessing and remaining in work, deepening the insecurity they experience.

We found that for a substantial minority their 60s are a decade defined by precarity. This accounts for more than one in four people in their 60s - and their numbers are set to grow significantly over the next few years.
