Research published by Prudential UK reveals a "new age" of
retirement is dawning, as nearly half of all Brits approaching
retirement intend to keep working in paid employment beyond the
current state pension age of 65.
According to the research, two in five people in Britain aged
between 50-64 say they intend to keep working past the current
state pension age which for those aged 50 or over is still 65.
In addition, 22 per cent of those Brits (1.4 million people) say
they do not know when, if ever, they will retire. The findings
point to a "new age" of retirement - one which is moving away from
a set age to stop working, towards a more flexible approach.
