Dear Colleague,

To accommodate an ageing population people will need to work for longer, but to what extent is this happening in reality and to what extent do barriers to working longer include poor health?

Related concerns include the future affordability of pensions and rising cost
of health and social care but more generally the strategic issue of maintaining or preferably improving economic prosperity in coming decades.
