Job mobility for older workers in semi-routine and routine occupations
We are investigating how job mobility can help older workers in routine and semi-routine jobs to extend their working lives. These workers often need to work longer to avoid poverty in retirement but may retire early because of ill health, while having fewer opportunities to move into suitable roles. Using mixed methods—an evidence review, analysis of Understanding Society data, and place-based qualitative research in the Leeds City Region—we will examine how job mobility can be improved, with implications for employers and local, regional and national policy.
