With nearly one in seven Britons over 75 by 2040, according to a report by the Resolution foundation thinktank, Guardian senior reporter Amelia Hill will be travelling across Britain to investigate the changing nature of retirement, and how it affects you - from your hopes and fears to your plans and experiences.
This project, which we’re calling The new retirement, is part of an experiment in collaborative reporting. Amelia is interested in what you think – and invites you to contribute to, guide and help shape this series as it considers the wider challenges of an ageing population and a younger generation struggling to save for retirement.
How you can help
It’s only by listening to you that we can fully understand what “the new retirement” means for different generations. To start the series, we’d like to hear your suggestions for topics or issues you think Amelia should investigate. Part two of the series, which we will be publishing on 23 January, will be all about money. So whether you are currently retired, considering retirement, or working out whether it will ever be a possibility let us know by filling in the form below.
