South East 40-70 Tomorrow’s Workforce Programme
• Purpose:– To maximise the older workforce’s contribution to increased
economic activity and productivity in the South East.

• Over 50s employment rate 11% lower than under 50sSource: The Age and Employment Network (TAEN)
• Around half of IB claimants are older people • On IB for 2 years: more likely to die or retire than work

• Companies started by older people have a 70% chance of surviving the first 5 years, compared with less than 30% for those started by younger people (Research published by Barclay’s Bank).
