Sarah spoke about the opportunities available to employers to diversify their recruitment practices and look at employing the Over 50s:
- In 1900s life expectancy was 40 to 50 years. Now it’s 80 to 90 years
- 20 years ago, 1 in 5 workers 50+
- Pre pandemic, 1 in 3
- The fastest growing cohort slammed into reverse in the pandemic and has since stalled
- 1m fewer over 50s workers
- The trend will just continue
