Research
carried out last year stressed the growing
challenge facing employers in
terms of
managing and supporting the UK’s ageing workforce.
Figures from the Office for National
Statistics have suggested that the number of
people aged 65 and over still working has
reached 1.19 million—up 25,000 from a year
were also now more people aged 50-74 in work than
ever r,the
overall trend was hiding the fact
that 12% people are forced to stop working before
reaching state pension age because of ill
health or disability.
Nearly half a million
(436,000) workers who are within five years of
state
pension age have had to leave work for
medical reasons,with an apparent divide
between the North (worse) and South
(better).Those in the lowest-paid jobs,including
cleaners,leisure industry workers and people
doing heavy laboring jobs,were twice as
likely
to stop working before retirement age,because of
sickness and disability than
managers or
professionals.
Within this,the needs of the
“sandwich generation”—those juggling work with
caring for elderly dependents as well as
children—needed to be given greater
priority
(优先权) by employers,a white paper by insurer and
healthcare provider
concluded.
Its
research argued that 66% of managers think the
average age of retirement in
their
organization will increase in the next 5 to 10
,36% reported being
unaware of anything their
organization did to attract,keep and engage older
than a quarter (23%) of employees said they
felt supported by their
employer with their
responsibilities for caring for a loved one.
This was perhaps unsurprising,given that only
28% of managers said their
organization had
formal policies and practices in place to support
these
employees,argues healthcare distribution
director Chris Horlick.

The bicycling craze came in when we were just
about at the right age to enjoy
first even
“safety” bicycles were too dangerous and improper
for ladies to
ride,and they had to have
mother had (I believe) the first female
tricycle in Cambridge,and I had a little used
to go out for family rides,all
together,my
father in front on a bicycle,and my poor brother
Charles standing
miserable on the bar behind
my mother.I found it very hard
work,pounding(轰隆隆行进)
away on my hard tyres;a
glorious,but not a pleasurable pastime.

Then,one day at lunch,my
father said he had just seen a new kind of
tyre,filled
up with air,and he thought it
might be a soon after that everyone had
bicycles,ladies and all;and bicycling became
the smart thing,and the lords and ladies
had
their pictures in the papers,riding along in the
park,in straw boater hats(硬草
帽).
My mother
must have fallen off her bicycle pretty often,for
I remember seeing the
most appalling cuts and
bruises(青肿) on her she never complained,and
always
kept these mishaps(灾祸) to r,the great

fall yesterday;she cut both her knees and sprained

occur when,at the age of nearly seventy,she
insisted on learning to drive a

mastered the art of reversing(倒车),and was in every
way an unconventional and
terrifying ps used
then to tell us,“Her Ladyship ran into the back
of a milk-cart yesterday;but it wasn’t much
hurt”;or “A policeman stopped her
Ladyship
because she was on the wrong side of the road;but
she said she didn’t know
what the white line
on the road meant,so he explained and let her go
on.”

Intelligence Service at her command,for the
stories were always true enough.
