Record numbers of people in their 50s and older are in part-time work, according to new data from the Office for National Statistics, with one quarter of workers in their 50s working part-time.
The data reveals that 3.6 million older people are working part-time in the UK, a 12% increase since 2021. 42% of the UK’s part-time workers are now aged over 50.
We’d like to hear from people aged 50 and over who work part-time, whether by choice or out of necessity.
We’re interested to hear why they’re working part-time, and how this is affecting their lives.
