750,000 over-50s looking for work could help solve employers' recruitment challenges - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
Briefly

Novo Constare, CEO and co-founder of Indeed Flex, said, "Men and women are working later into life than ever before due to an increase in the state pension age and the fact that they are living longer."
"The unemployment rate among the over-50s is at a record-low after falling to 2.4% over the past 12 months, while the economic inactivity rate of the over-65s has plummeted from 73% to 58% in the last 10 years."
"Furthermore, three quarters of a million older people are seeking employment or have expressed a keen interest to find work. This is a huge talent pool that is available to businesses that might be struggling to recruit or are in need of experienced workers."
"For employers looking to attract valuable, experienced workers, flexibility is often the key. Older workers can be drawn to temporary positions as they value the freedom to pick when and where they work, and to avoid being tied down to a long-term position."
