Professor Philip Taylor gave evidence to the 'Preparing for an Ageing Society’ inquiry

IER’s Professor Philip Taylor, along with Professor Lynda Gratton from London Business School and Professor Wendy Loretto from Edinburgh Business School, gave oral evidence this week to the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee inquiry 'Preparing for an Ageing Society'.

A particular focus of the inquiry is workforce ageing and the prolongation of working lives. Questions touched on trends in employment for the over-50s, choices and challenges regarding work and retirement, skills, the effects of automation and new technologies on older workers’ job prospects, intersectionality and age, public policy overseas, and public advocacy on ageing and work.
