According to the financial and technology group 1st - The
Exchange, many UK retirees are either working or considering a
return to work as a result of the economic downturn.
A survey of 2,000 individuals of retirement age found that 53%
of retirees are currently employed full or part time in order to
boost their pension, with 10% of those looking to increase their
working hours. A further 17% are thinking about going back to work
because their existing pension is inadequate.
