In a new, nine-part series, senior reporter Amelia Hill will investigate the dramatic ageing of Britain, and the implications for work, retirement and wellbeing. Life expectancy is growing by five hours a day, bringing huge challenges - and opportunities - and forcing us to rethink the way we live, love and work.
With your help, she’ll consider what retirement looks like for this generation and future generations, and how we might all afford it. Amelia will be talking to those in their 60s to mid-70s, who have pensions and properties and perhaps three decades of life still ahead of them. But also those in their 50s and 60s, whose pensions have been eroded and benefits whittled away, and who might not be on the housing ladder. And she’ll be asking: what if you’re in your 30s and barely able to pay your rent, let alone save for a retirement that may not ever arrive?
If you would like to follow the progress of her investigation, you can sign up to weekly emails from Amelia alerting you to newly published articles in The new retirement series.
