How easy is it really to get a job when you’re over 50?
Have you tried to get a new job now your over 50? How easy was it?
The government has launched a new strategy calling on employers to boost the number of older workers and ensure they are not writing people off once they reach a certain age, helping to build a country that works for everyone.
It’s estimated that by mid-2030s people aged 50 and over will make up more than half of the UK adult population.
The government is encouraging people to take full advantage of the opportunities that work can bring, including seeking out a new career if they are feeling unfulfilled at work.
But what is the reality? Have you tried to get a new job aged 50+? Do you think ageism still rules the workplace? Have you started your own business because you got frustrated trying to find a job?
