Over one third of people over the age of 50 and under 65 are no longer in paid work. For some, this is a positive choice that allows them freedom to choose how to spend their time. For others, who may not have chosen to leave work, their options may be limited by income, health, caring responsibilities, or where they live. This report draws on in-depth interviews with a sample group of people aged 50-64 in four contrasting areas of the UK. It explores their reasons for leaving work, their current activities and the factors that influence these. The report highlights: problems and coping strategies in adjusting to retirement; the importance of family and friendship networks in later life; the impact of unexpected events such as redundancy, ill-health or bereavement; the advantages and drawbacks of involvement in community activities; and the policies needed to help people make the most of their retirement. Local authorities, voluntary sector agencies, government departments and policy makers concerned with improving services for the over fifties, and interested in tapping the potential of this age group, should benefit from reading this report.
