star this property answer text <p>In the 2017 Budget, £5 million was allocated to increase the number of programmes for returners in the public and private sector. The Government Equalities Office is developing programmes to support people who want to return to the workplace. These have not yet been launched but will be open to all those who wish to return to paid work, having taken time out of the labour market for caring. This includes women born in the 1950s and affected by the change in the state pension age.</p><p> </p><p>The number of older workers in employment is at a record high, this includes 1.2 million workers over the age of 65. This corresponds to an increase in the employment rate for individuals over the age of 65 from 6.7% to 10.3% over the past ten years. The Government is keen in supporting older people to return to the labour market and that is why we invested £1.6 million in nine pilots across England to explore ways to support carers to balance work and caring responsibilities. The final evaluation report is expected later this Summer.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>Successive governments of different political persuasions have taken the same approach to increased life expectancy and equality between 1995–2019. The Government has no plans to revisit the policy on women’s State Pension age as brought forward by the 1995 pensions Act or the 2011 Pensions Act, and does not intend to make further concessions. The changes in the 2011 Act occurred following a public Call for Evidence and extensive debates in Parliament. A concession limiting the increase in State Pension age under the 2011 Act in any individual case to 18 months, relative to the 1995 Act timetable, has already been made during the passage Act (at the cost of £1.1 billion).</p><p> </p><p>In the years after the 1995 legislation (1995 to 2011) this equalisation was frequently reported in the media and debated at length in parliament. People were notified with leaflets, an extensive advertising campaign was carried out, and later individual letters were posted out.</p><p> </p><p>Evidence submitted to the House of Commons Work and Pensions Committee ‘Communication of state pension age changes’ in 2016 noted that there were more than 600 mentions of State Pension age equalisation in the national broadsheet and tabloid press between 1993 and 2006, an average of just under one per week between 1993 and 2006. There were 54 mentions in the press in 1995, the year in which equalisation was legislated for. This was a significant event to change the age at which women received their State Pension that had existed since 1940. This was news worthy, particularly to those that it affected. Further media coverage occurred around the Pension Acts 2007, 2011 and 2014.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Women retiring today can still expect to receive the State Pension for 23.5 years on average – almost three years longer than men. Even after equalising women’s State Pension age (SPa) with men’s, women will spend on average around 2 years more in receipt of their State Pension (SP) because of their longer life expectancy.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The new State Pension is actually much more generous for many women, who have been historically worse off under the old system. By 2030, over 3m women stand to gain an average of £550 extra per year as a result of these changes. If SPa had not been equalised, women would spend on average over 40% of their adult life in retirement.</p> more like this
