Work and the over-50’s: how the unions see the future
Join our fourth live online debate
Date: 26 July (Thursday)
Time: 1.00–2.00 p.m.
Speaker: Kay Carberry, Assistant General Secretary, TUC
The fourth live Equal-Works debate explores one of the biggest issues for the future of the labour market – how do we best make use of the talent and experience of the over-50s?
What do you think?
- Should we expect to work past 65?
- Is there a new economy emerging for older workers?
- Is there discrimination against older workers, and what can we do about it?
- How do we need to change health care and pensions?
- Should we invest in training and education for the over-50s?
