“Policymakers looking to increase employment for those in the run-up to state pension age should take account of the headwind from worsening mental health for poor women.”

📗 Read the report, funded by the IFS Retirement Saving Consortium, here: ifs.org.uk/publications...
Quote from IFS Research Economist Bee Boileau: "Mental health problems are often discussed as a young person’s problem. The rise in mental health problems among women in their late 50s and early 60s in recent years, particularly among poorer women, shows that this is not the whole story. Policymakers looking to increase employment for those in the run-up to state pension age – a group for whom there is likely to be significant potential to boost employment rates – should take account of the headwind from worsening mental health for poor women."

Employment for 55- to 64-year-olds is on the low end compared to many OECD countries. Though up from 57% in 2012, it has risen more slowly than in other countries.

Health is a key constraint on employment later in working-age life.
